Family Resource Specialists (FRS)

Each local Early Steps office is required to have Family Resource Specialists (FRS) involved in their local program. The FRS work under the general supervision of the local Early Steps Director/Coordinator. An FRS must be a family member of a child who received early intervention services or would have been eligible for early intervention services.

The FRS is a resource for families served through the local Early Steps and serves as a community link to support family centered efforts and activities within the local Early Steps. The FRS advocates for families served by expressing the views, perspectives and needs conveyed by families. The FRS also solicits feedback from families receiving early intervention services to ensure diverse input regarding programs, policies and the delivery of early intervention services.
