EIT Application for Providers
This is an open application for the St. Louis Area SPOE (Regions 1 & 2) to collect information from providers who are interested in being on an Early Intervention Team in either St. Louis City, St. Louis County, or St. Charles County. Completing this online application is not a guarantee that you will be assigned to a team. As needs arise, the SPOE will access these applications to consider filling the needs of the existing teams.

By completing this application you are agreeing to submit yourself as an individual provider (not to be confused with "independent provider") to be considered for assignment to an Early Intervention Team. If you are employed by an agency, you are solely responsible for notifying your agency administrator(s) that you are applying to be part of a team. Selection and participation for an EIT in no way impacts or changes the status of your enrollment with First Steps (either independent or as an agency provider). Assignment to an EIT DOES NOT change your enrollment to an independent provider. Spots on an EI Team are assigned to the provider selected and not to an agency so the spot belongs to the person. If that individual person leaves the EIT, the spot is open and the SPOE will select the replacement.
