SICC Vision Statement

The SICC Vision for the Early Intervention Programs:

• It is a comprehensive, coordinated, collaborative, and cohesive system of supports that optimizes children's development with emphasis on their value in society.
• It supports, not supplants, the family's responsibility of caring for their children.
• It supports all children as active participants in the community as children first, not disability first, with attention to necessary adaptations.
• It supports a team decision process that prioritizes a family's selection of resources expended on their behalf.
• It utilizes existing community resources and encourages the involvement of all citizens.
• It is appropriately and adequately funded.
• It has, as the central sounding board of the early intervention community, the Pennsylvania State Interagency Coordinating Council.
