• TEAM EI Colorado Implementation and Training-Only 2026

  Implementation

  The implementation of TEAM EI Colorado is being revised in response to concerns from some EI Brokers and EI professionals. 

  • EI Colorado met with the implementation team members in Cohorts 1 and 2, and EI Coordinators in all 20 programs, to determine next steps together
    • It was decided that a training-only approach for all Early Intervention (EI) professionals is the best path forward at this time
    • This approach will replace the previously planned Cohort structure and ensure that all EI Brokers across the state learn simultaneously
