Standards for Service Coordination in Early Intervention.
The Vermont Interagency Coordinating Council for Families, Infants and Toddlers (VICC) was established by federal law to advise the Vermont Department of Education and the Agency of Human Services on the statewide system of early intervention services for families of children with special needs, ages birth to three. In Vermont, the early intervention system is known as the Family, Infant and Toddler Project. Every family of an infant or toddler referred for evaluation and early intervention services has the right to family-centered, comprehensive service coordination. In response to a statewide need expressed by families and service providers, the VICC has worked to develop standards for service coordination in early intervention. These standards reflect Vermont's family-centered, community-based, interagency service delivery model, illustrating what every qualified, agency-supported service coordinator should know and be able to do to support families of children with special needs. A self-assessment instrument is included in this booklet to assist coordinators to determine their strengths and training needs. Families might also find the self-assessment useful to learn what they should expect from their service coordinator. (Author)
