The recruitment and retention of qualified early intervention (EI) personnel remains a challenge throughout many regions of the nation. In response to this challenge, states and localities are employing a range of innovative strategies. Based on examples drawn from around the country, including examples provided by the National Early Childhood Technical Assistance Center (NECTAC) as part of a review of Part C Annual Performance Reports (APRs), as well as the Personnel Improvement Center's (PIC) work in Texas, this practice brief provides suggestions for strategies to improve the recruitment and retention of EI personnel, including related service providers such as occupational therapists (OTs), physical therapists (PTs) and speech-language pathologists (SLPs).
