The EIP is funded by New York State and county governments. Potentially eligible children must be referred to the county program to receive EIP services. A child’s eligibility for the program can be determined only by state-approved evaluators under contract with the municipality. All needed EIP services are identified in collaboration with the parent, must be authorized by the municipality, and provided at no cost to parents. The municipality arranges for service providers to deliver services according to the unique needs of each child and family. When EIP services are delivered in childcare/community settings that require a fee, parents are responsible for paying any associated costs for such access. To access the EIP, referrals must be made through your municipality.
