ACT Updates
o ACT is developing a survey to gather feedback from ACT providers, such as how things are going with tele-intervention and thoughts on transitioning back to in-home services.
o ACT letter to families on the status on tele-intervention services.
ACT SCs are responsible for sending letters out via email to their families.
Team Leads are responsible for sending letters out via email to the children who received service coordination from DDD.
For families who do not use email, the assigned SC or TL must send an email to Caroline, so that a letter can be mailed out by the ACT office to those families.

o SC’s and providers should use the AzEIP forms library on the website to get correct form each time. Periodically checking the AzEIP website for new forms.
AzEIP has updated many of their forms. Please check out the website to ensure you are currently using the most recent forms. This is a requirement of our contracts.
