The Parent Leadership Project is a project of the Early Intervention Division at the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, EIPLP was created to support parents whose children receive early intervention services. The Project’s main goal is to promote lifetime advocacy, leadership skills, and the development of an informed parent constituency, encouraging early intervention services to be increasingly family centered. The Project is a parent-driven endeavor, which continually seeks family involvement and input regarding the needs of families enrolled in Early Intervention and is implemented by parents whose own children have received EI services.

About EIPLP

The Project staff consists of a Statewide Director, a Communication Coordinator, a Training & Technical Assistance Coordinator, and a Family Engagement & Collaboration Coordinator. All of our staff have received Early Intervention services for their own children and families. We work to inform families about the variety of opportunities to actively participate in the Early Intervention system, either at their local program, within their region, and/or at the statewide level. Some of these opportunities include:

  • Developing, supporting, and participating in Parent Advisory Councils (PAC’s) at local Early Intervention programs
  • Attending workshops and training programs (check out our upcoming training for families)
  • Attending the annual statewide Massachusetts Early Intervention Consortium (MEIC) Conference and parent dinner
  • Participating on the Interagency Coordinating Council (ICC)
  • Receiving the statewide parent newsletter, the Parent Perspective.
