A New Statewide Toll Free Referral Number
1-888-NJEI-INFO / 888-653-4463
Effective July 1, 2008 the NJEIS is regionalizing the system point of entry (SPOE) for referral of children, birth to age three, with developmental delays and disabilities. This toll-free number replaces the direct referral for early intervention through 21 county numbers. Families and primary referral sources will now only need to call 1-888-653-4463 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-888-653-4463 end_of_the_skype_highlighting to refer a child to the NJEIS.
For children, birth to age 21 with special health care needs referrals continue to be made through the 21 county Special Child Health Case Management Units (SCHS-CMUs). The SCHS-CMU referral numbers can be found at:
