As a service to the community, VPIC is proud to host the following information about the Family, Infant & Toddler Program of Vermont.

Vermont Interagency Coordinating Council Information

The mission of the Vermont Interagency Coordinating Council is to advise and assist the Vermont Agency of Human Services and the Department of Education, as co-lead agencies, to ensure the development and implementation of a statewide system of early intervention services for families and their infants and toddlers with special needs. The system includes parents as equal partners and is:

Family-centered
Community-based
Interdisciplinary
Collaborative across agencies

FITP and VPIC are always recruiting parent representatives to be a part of the ICC. If you are interested please e-mail Lianne Petrocelli (FITP) at Lpetro25@yahoo.com or Erinleigh Hand (Parent Representative) at erinleighmurray@yahoo.com.
