** Description of Work
** Early Intervention Service Coordinators (EISCs) are the heart of Early Intervention! They provide service coordination for children in the NC Infant-Toddler Program and support to their families and caregivers.

The birth-to-three period offers a window of opportunity to make a positive difference in how a child develops and learns.

EISCs typically have the flexibility of telework and a hybrid workplace.
EISC duties include:  
• Working with families and team members to develop functional Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSPs)  
• Working with multi-disciplinary teams to determine families’ needs for supports and services   
• Conducting home visits  
• Coordinating services, such as speech and physical therapy
