Interagency Coordinating Councils (ICCs)

Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires that each state establish a state Interagency Coordinating Council (ICC) to support implementation of the Part C program. Membership of the ICC is specified in statute and regulations. Members are appointed by the governor and must include at least 20% providers of early intervention services; at least 20% parents, including minority parents, of infants or toddlers with disabilities or children with disabilities aged 12 years or younger; and designees from multiple other early childhood programs. Required and authorized activities of the ICC are listed in Subpart G of the IDEA regulations.

• Planning and hosting an annual in-person meeting of ICC chairs, staff, and parent representatives in conjunction with an OSEP-funded early childhood conference.
• Providing individual technical assistance to state ICCs in collaboration with their Part C state staff.
• Participating in a national collaborative workgroup to plan webinars and other learning opportunities for state ICCs across the country ( more about workgroup). Topics may include family engagement and leadership, orienting new ICC members, supporting local ICCs, collaboration strategies, new tools and resources, and emerging issues.

• State ICC resources resources: Examples of state materials include member recruitment, orientation, development, marketing, strategic planning, and annual reports, among others.
• ECTA maintains current lists of contact information for state ICC chairs, co-chairs and staff.
