This page was created by the Minnesota Centers of Excellence for Young Children with Disabilities (MNCoE) in partnership with the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE).  This site is intended for programs in Minnesota to share resources to use evidence-based practices in early intervention. The practices taught in EQIP training are researched, developed, and compiled by Dr. Dathan Rush and Dr. M'Lisa Shelden, and include the Family, Infant and Preschool Program (website: fipp.org) and the Division of Early Childhood Recommended Practices.   Additional researchers cited in this work include, but are not limited to Dr. Juliann Woods, Dr. Carl Dunst, Dr. Carol Trivette and Dr. Robin McWilliam. The practices referenced throughout EQIP can be found in The Early Childhood Coaching Handbook and The Early Intervention Teaming Handbook by Dr. Rush and Dr. Shelden. 

MNCoE offers technical assistance using Implementation Science, including training, coaching and support using data, to school-based early interventions programs. Learn more about Implementation Science at the Active Implementation Hub.
