Our Mission

"The Early Intervention Association of Nova Scotia exists as an organization to advocate for and increase awareness of Early Intervention in the community. The Association promotes personal and professional development to support infants and children with special needs and their families."

In our ongoing endeavour to support the professional development of early intervention, EINS has compiled a provincial personnel policy (PDF: 2.1Mb), available for adoption by boards, to assist with support to early intervention staff. A provincial board policy (PDF: 343k) has been compiled for members of the volunteer boards that manage early intervention programs in Nova Scotia.

Families have the potential to be a child's "best teacher". We support families of children with special needs as they seek to educate themselves about their child's needs. Families of children enrolled in an Early Intervention program can apply (PDF: 35k) for financial assistance to attend conferences, seminars and other educational events.
