A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE NEW JERSEY EARLY INTERVENTION SYSTEM (NJEIS)
A New Statewide Toll Free Referral Number
1-888-NJEI-INFO
888-653-4463
Effective July 1, 2008, the NJEIS is regionalizing the system point of entry (SPOE) for referral of children, birth to age three, with developmental delays and disabilities. This toll free number replaces the direct referral for early intervention through 21 county numbers. Families and primary referral sources will now only need to call 1-888-653-4463 to refer a child to the NJEIS.
For children, birth to age 21 with special health care needs, referrals continue to be made through the 21 county Special Child Health Case Management Units (SCHS-CMUs). The SCHS-SMU referral numbers can be found at: http://www.nj.gov/health/fhs/sch/sccase.shtml
The Early Intervention System (EIS), under the Department of Health & Senior Services, implements New Jersey’s statewide system of services for infants and toddlers, birth to age three, with developmental delays or disabilities, and their families.
