Early Intervention Point of Entry Services

​Kentucky Early Intervention System is a statewide early intervention system that provides services to children with developmental disabilities from birth to age 3 and their families. The Office for Children with Special Health Care Needs (OCSHCN) manages the point of entry for the KIPDA region.

The foundation of early intervention is to: support families in promoting their child's optimal development, facilitate the child's participation in family and community activities, and encourage the active participation of families in the intervention by embedding strategies into family routines through a coaching modality of service delivery.

The point of entry office (POE) is responsible for receiving all referrals to the KIPDA KEIS program, determining eligibility through evaluations and assessments, and coordinating the development of the initial Individualized Family Service Plan.

Point of entries also are responsible for local Child Find activities, local public awareness activities, local interagency coordination/collaboration, administrative monitoring and analysis of POE and district performance.
