These are the initial professional training developed by EI Colorado to provide the public and the workforce with the foundational knowledge about the TEAM EI Colorado model, transdisciplinary teams, structured team meetings, teaming discussions, coaching as an adult interaction style in Early Intervention, and primary provider service delivery.

  • The training series is an integral part of the workforce-driven initiative to improve services for children and families, and support provider recruitment and retention
  • The entire training series is required statewide for all service coordinators and providers working with or for an EI Broker 
  • The 10-minute video "Welcome to TEAM EI Colorado" is required for every employee of an EI Broker, including but not limited to: referral and intake, billing, finance, data, administrative support, and leaders.

• TEAM EI Colorado Implementation and Training 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

  Five EI Brokers are committed to implementing TEAM EI Colorado on a smaller scale within their communities:

  • Community Connections
    • Counties served: Dolores, San Juan, Montezuma, La Plata, Archuleta
  • Community Options:
    • Counties served: Delta, Montrose, San Miguel, Ouray, Gunnison, Hinsdale

    • Counties served: Moffat, Routt, Jackson, Grand, Rio Blanco
  • Starpoint:

  • The Resource Exchange:
    • Counties served: El Paso, Teller, Park

  Training

  Implementation team members in Cohorts 1 & 2, as well as  EI Coordinators, met on December 2, 2025, to discuss their specific training needs moving forward

  • This will help inform and guide the updated training plan for statewide training of EI Professionals
    • Details regarding the statewide required training will be shared no later than February 2026
• TEAM Toolkit
