  • Preferred candidates have at least one year of experience providing Part C early intervention services, and would be considered as an early childhood specialist (DT-EC)
  • Ability to travel to homes, daycares, and other community settings within the service area
  • Ability to adapt to needs of patients and caregivers within their natural environments
  • Ability to be flexible with patients and re-schedule as needed
  • Excellent communication skills – oral and written
