Region 11 IEIC Project
The Region 11 Interagency Early Intervention Committee (IEIC) is responsible for the implementation of Help Me Grow public awareness and service connection in the seven-county metro area. Help Me Grow is a statewide initiative focused on outreach and public awareness activities to connect caregivers/families of young children to free developmental screening and a possible connection with early intervention services. Help Me Grow (external site) offers information on child development and a pathway to refer an infant, toddler, or preschooler for free help when there are developmental concerns.
The Region 11 IEIC is supported through an interagency agreement between the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) and the Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) using federal funding under CFDA 84.181 Special Education Grants for Infants and Families with Disabilities. The contents of this activity do not necessarily represent the policy of the federal Department of Education or the MDE and the DCYF, and endorsement by the federal or state government should not be assumed.
