This booklet introduces parents to "Tennessee's Early Intervention System" (TEIS). This system is funded through the Tennessee Department of Education. Through TEIS parents can get answers about their baby's growth and development and find the special services their child may need. Parents can also use this system to determine which other services their child may be eligible to receive, including Children's Special Services (CSS) through the Tennessee Department of Health, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits through the Social Security Administration office, and many others. The booklet guides parents through the process, including referral, intake meeting, coordination of services, screening, eligibility evaluation, assessment for programming, family needs assessment, writing an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP), knowing the child's and family's legal rights, and transitioning as a part of early intervention. The booklet also includes a medical information card and a TEIS map with useful telephone numbers and addresses.
