The State of NYS Early Intervention Program

The New York State Early Intervention Program (EIP) is part of the national Early Intervention Program for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families.

First created by Congress in 1986 under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), it was adopted by NYS as Article 25 of the Public Health Law and is administered by the New York State Department of Health through the Bureau of Early Intervention.
