About the ICC
Our Council is a Family-Provider Partnership.
Parents and providers are brought together through Massachusetts Interagency Coordinating Council to improve services for Massachusetts infants and toddlers and their families. Families with experience receiving early intervention services work together with providers to support program planning and interagency coordination to ensure the early intervention system is effective for all eligible infants and toddlers.
We would love to connect with you.
Council meetings are free and open for anyone to join. There are many ways to get involved with the council, from attending a meeting as a guest to being an appointed member. If you are interested in learning more, please contact the Massachusetts ICC co-chairs below.

As a result, the Commonwealth will have a community-based system of care that maximizes opportunities for all children and families. To achieve this vision, the ICC is based key principles: family-centered, community-based, quality services, and sustainability.
