The American Association for Home-Based Early Interventionists (AAHBEI, pronounced AH-BEE) serves parents and those working in the field of early home intervention with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers with special needs. It is a group of families and professionals working together to help the children they serve reach their maximum potential.

AAHBEI offers the first opportunity to join with an organization that addresses the concerns of early home intervention for children with special needs and their families. There is no organization like AAHBEI. We are the only non-profit organization for professionals, parents, and families that has a special, though not exclusive, emphasis on the home as a beneficial environment for early intervention. A unique strength of AAHBEI is its focus on sensory impairments along with its attention to all special needs.

AAHBEI membership is open to all professionals, parents, and individuals who are interested or involved in early intervention. Through membership dues the organization is able to provide practical, useful information through sponsored regional meetings, representation at national meetings, newsletters, and national satellite video conferences.
