Families and professionals working together meeting the needs of children with disabilities birth to 6 years of age.
The membership of Family & Interagency Coordinating Council supports professional, early intervention, services for families of infants or toddlers with disabilities in the Kitsap County, WA., USA area.
Early Intervention in Kitsap is a collection of services that families may need for their infants or toddlers with disabilities. The ICC membership includes representatives from many of these services.
Early Intervention during the first years of a child's life can make a big difference in the future of that child.
Early Intervention may:
help you find services you need for your child
help you understand your child's developmental growth
In Kitsap County, the driving force or foundation of all early intervention service delivery is a family-centered approach. Families of infants and toddlers with disabilities are always at the center of servicecoordination.
Family Resource Coordinators work directly with the families of infants and toddlers to ensure that services:
are accessible
are within close proximity for families
are free from attitudinal or architectural barriers
meet child and family needs
are flexibly scheduled
