As part of our plan for transitioning to Early Intervention Teams (EIT) in the St. Louis Area, we have carefully examined our regions to develop zones that are clear, understandable, and represent natural geographic boundaries. The following is a list of geographic zones within which teams will be formed:
St. Charles County Zone
North County Zone
St. Louis City Zone
Central Corridor Zone
South County Zone
West County Zone
Our contract with DESE states that we are responsible for making sure that at least 25% of all new referrals are being referred to an EIT by June 30, 2011. Based on referral numbers and our goal to implement EIT in areas that could help address provider shortage issues, the North County and St. Louis City zones will be the first portions of the region to start taking referrals for EIT. Shortly, we will make an application available only for those providers interested in being considered for a team in these 2 zones (North St. Louis County and St. Louis City). When we are prepared to move forward with other zones, we will make announcements for those applications at that time.
