EI NCR Examples Revised 6/24/19

Acceptable NCRs

Examples

Parent/Child Reason(s)

 Parent/Caregiver had an illness

 Child had illness or was hospitalized

 Parent had a scheduling issue

 Parent/Caregiver no longer wants to participate in EI

Couldn’t Locate/Reach

Parent

 Parent/caregiver did not respond to communication attempts or response was delayed

 Parent/caregiver was not home for or did not attend a scheduled appointment

Emergency-Related Closure

 Evaluation and assessment provider agency, therapy provider agency, or service coordinator agency was closed due to

weather, flooding, water main break, etc.

Unacceptable NCRs

Examples

Staff Error

 EI staff missed a deadline

 EI staff had an oversight with scheduling

System Reason

 EI program had insufficient evaluation and assessment slots

 Service Coordinator, Evaluator and Assessor, or service provider cancelled appointment and did not offer alternative dates

within the required timeline

 TPC meeting was delayed due to LEA not being available

If a child is referred fewer than 90 days prior to his/her third birthday, a TPC is not required; therefore, if a TPC is completed for

this child, there is no need for a noncompliance reason.

Examples are not intended to be an exhaustive list, but rather represent common scenarios when a particular NCR would apply. Questions about specific

situations should be addressed with your EI program consultant.
