We are seeking an Early Intervention Developmental Specialist to provide assessments and therapeutic developmental services to children served in the early intervention program, in individual group settings, or play therapy sessions using a family centered, coaching approach. These children are between the ages of birth and three years whose development is at risk by certain biological or environmental factors.

We deliver services in the child's natural environment including home, daycare, and in the Early Intervention center in North Adams, Massachusetts.

• Act as liaison with medical providers, schools, and community agencies to coordinate care and share relevant information.
• Conduct intake visits, complete developmental evaluations as part of a transdisciplinary team, and document observations across all developmental domains (motor, cognitive, communication, social-emotional, self-care).
• Facilitate IFSP meetings with families, lead goal-setting discussions, and develop parent-directed service plans.
• Serve as service coordinator for assigned cases, ensuring IFSP goals and services are implemented and monitored.
• Guide families in implementing developmental activities and accessing community resources (e.g., SSI, respite care).
• Support transition planning and advocate for families during school team meetings.
• Maintain accurate documentation of assessments, progress notes, and service plans per program standards.
• Participate in staff meetings, case conferences, and ongoing professional development.
• Meet productivity requirements through intakes, assessments, playgroups, treatment sessions, and outreach.
