Allied eHealth Resource Network
TECS has created a network for allied health providers to address
their specific needs in providing services within the Part C system.
The mission of the network is to develop an infrastructure for
providers in the BabyNet system, supporting:
- Dissemination of information & resources, training, and
technical assistance,
- Knowledge related to IDEA Part C, professional guidelines, and
evidence- based recommendations for pediatric practice.
The targeted outcomes for the eHealth Network are as follows:
- To increase access to accurate and useable information,
resources, training, and technical assistance supports for team
members in the Part C system, beginning with the topic of “natural
environments,”
- To provide information that assists team members to align
practice with IDEA Part C, professional, and evidence-based
recommendations, beginning with the natural environments
requirement,
- To increase use of services that are aligned with Part C,
professional, and evidence-based recommendations in delivery of
services for young children and their families,
- To promote program evaluation, research, and development of
evidence-based practices for young children and their families,
- To increase access to services by eligible young children and
their families across all areas of the state (particularly for
rural and underserved populations), by providing information to
team members on such topics as alternative service delivery
options (e.g., telehealth, use of paraprofessionals), and by
collaborating with organizations and professionals who have
similar needs, etc.
