Interagency Coordinating Council
Indiana's Interagency Coordinating Council on Infants and Toddlers (ICC), which was first convened in 1987, is appointed by the Governor to advise and assist the Division of Disability and Rehabilitative Services (DDRS) (the Lead Agency) in its responsibilities. Indiana Code then transferred these responsibilities to the Bureau of Child Development Services (BCDS) within DDRS. At least one-fifth of the ICC members are parents of children 12 years old or younger with disabilities or developmental delays. Other members include state agency groups, public and private early intervention service providers, legislators, pre-service professionals, and others. The ICC is committed to holding the vision of First Steps Early Intervention Services in Indiana and to keeping abreast of issues, concerns and trends that may affect First Steps in the future.
The Local Planning and Coordinating Councils
Each regional Cluster must maintain a regional Local Planning and Coordinating Council (LPCC) whose primary responsibility is to identify issues in the delivery of services and to design and implement strategies to effectively address these issues. Through the LPCC, community resources and providers are identified and coordinated. Improvement in communication and cooperation among agencies and individuals are a direct result of the efforts of the LPCC. Each LPCC has a coordinator and members composed of local providers, parents and community leaders. The Cluster LPCC may have standing committees, task forces, and/or localized county councils.
