** Description of Work

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
