Resources

Most Early Intervention programs in Nova Scotia have Resource Libraries containing books and videos, which families are encouraged to borrow. We also have Toy Lending Libraries, with lots of interesting and challenging toys and equipment. To inquire about borrowing any resource materials or toys, contact the Early Intervention Program in your area.

In our ongoing effort to assist families, we are also compiling a collection of resources on this site. We know that you, as parents, are searching for as much information about your child's developmental condition as possible. Please keep checking back to see the new resources on our site!

EINS Discussion Forum

EINS is pleased to announce its new online forum for open discussion among parents, interventionists, board members and others. We invite parents to share stories about their children and seek advice from other parents. Early interventionists, many of whom work in isolation, will enjoy this opportunity to tell about daily challenges and discoveries. Just sign in and let the talk flow!

Partnerships For Inclusion Project

Partnerships for Inclusion is a project of the Early Intervention Association of Nova Scotia (EINS) in association with SpeciaLink: The National Centre for Child Care Inclusion.

Partnerships for Inclusion is a project devoted to including more children with special needs in child care centres through a quality enhancement process. The project was initiated in 2002 and has recently been extended to 2007. Child care centre staff work with Inclusion Facilitators to provide high quality child care that meets the needs of all children. Together, they are working to develop skills that result in higher quality child care and successful inclusion of children with special needs.
