TRIAD Early Intervention Services

In collaboration with Tennessee Early Intervention System (TEIS), we provide training and consultation to qualifying families of children currently enrolled in TEIS services across the state of TN. Family support services are provided through telemedicine-based visits. Professional development opportunities, including webinars, topic-focused series, and coaching are also available for early intervention providers affiliated with TEIS. For others who are not affiliated with TEIS, we provide a wide range of web-based content on topics relevant for young children with autism and other developmental delays.

TRIAD offers quality, current information via brief online training sessions and webinars to caregivers and professionals across the state. To access, register at: triad.vkclearning.org or if you already have an online learning account login here.
