The Certification Cycle has been developed to ensure continued implementation of the state identified practices which align with the Pennsylvania Principles of Early Intervention. The process is designed to be manageable and is consistent with other professional licensing and certification processes.
As professionals in the field of early intervention we recognize the importance of continuing to build our knowledge and skills to provide high quality early intervention services and supports to all children and their families throughout the state. The most effective way to support the success of young children and their families is through a commitment to our own ongoing professional development.
