The Arizona Early Intervention Program (AzEIP) is Arizona’s statewide interagency system of services and supports for families of infants and toddlers, birth to three years of age, with a significant developmental delay or established condition. AzEIP is established by Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which provides eligible children and their families access to Team-Based Early Intervention Services (TBEIS) to enhance the capacity of families and caregivers to support the child’s development.
AzEIP is focused on building the capacity of parents and caregivers so they feel competent and confident in caring for their infants and toddlers with delays and disabilities.
