The EI Model
25 children per CRW. 100 children per each type of specialist (PT, special educator, speech trainer). 300 – 500 children per Field Team Leader. 1 Project manager, 2 IT support persons, 1 office admin, 1 finance officer per 2000 children. This can be adjusted based on your organizations needs, funding and program approach.

In the general assessment section of the EI app, other medical and rehab specialists who are involved or required in the care of the child, school they are attending, access to government benefits and programs are all captured. However, there is no formal linkage of the EI app to govt databases or medical records.

This revised list will then be deployed for use into your version of the EI app.
