The Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE) discovered that infants and toddlers who were referred for Part C services and initially found ineligible for a full evaluation through screening were being re-referred and later found eligible for services at a high rate. This report presents the systematic evaluation process that TDOE's Tennessee Early Intervention System (TEIS) used to identify barriers and determine next steps of implementation. [This report was written in collaboration with Ardith Ferguson, Cornelia Taylor, and Shannon Pargin.]
