The EI Everywhere Library is a free, publicly accessible collection of 243 family-facing activity cards designed for toddlers with developmental differences. Each card describes a practical activity a caregiver can do at home — in everyday routines — to support their child's development.
As an Early Steps provider, you can share these cards directly with families during sessions, send the link as a home program resource, or browse them yourself to find carryover activity ideas for your coaching conversations.
🆓
No login required. The EI Everywhere Library is completely free and open — anyone with the link can browse and use the cards. There is no PHI involved. Share the link freely with families, colleagues, or community partners.

243 Activity Cards
A large, curated collection covering all developmental domains — not a generic list, but activities designed specifically for toddlers with developmental differences.
🏠
Routine-Based
Every card is embedded in a natural daily routine — mealtimes, bath, play, bedtime — so families can practice without extra prep time.
🌍
Plain Language
Written for caregivers, not clinicians. No jargon — families can read and use each card independently, without needing a provider present.
📱
Mobile-Friendly
Works on any device — phone, tablet, laptop. Families can bookmark it on their phone for easy access throughout the day.
🔎

Tips for Providers
🎯
Connect cards to IFSP goals
When selecting cards for a family, choose activities that map to the child's active IFSP outcome areas so home practice directly supports documented goals.
📅
Assign 2–3 cards per visit
Research shows families are more likely to follow through with a small number of specific activities. Choose 2–3 cards per visit rather than a long list.
📸
Ask families to send updates
Encourage families to text a photo or short video of trying an activity. It drives carryover and gives you clinical data for your next session note.
📚
Use alongside FL-EPIC
The EI Everywhere Library pairs well with the FL-EPIC Session Guide — use FL-EPIC to structure your coaching framework and library cards as the specific activities within that framework.
