OCDEL Hosts Local Interagency Coordinating Council (LICC) Summit

OCDEL’s Bureau of Early Intervention Services and Family Support, in collaboration with Early Intervention Technical Assistance (EITA) and the State Interagency Coordinating Council (SICC), hosted a one-day, in-person Local Interagency Coordinating Councils (LICC) Summit on May 12, 2026, in Harrisburg.

The purpose of the LICC Summit was to convene LICC co-chairs to review LICC Guidance, strengthen engagement among LICCs and key partners, explore strategies to increase family engagement within local councils, and encourage collaboration between LICCs and the SICC.

Attendees included OCDEL and EITA staff, SICC members, and co-chairs (parent and professional) representing multiple LICCs from across the Commonwealth. OCDEL Deputy Secretary Shante` Brown also attended the event and provided welcome remarks, emphasizing the importance of coming together and the power of collective commitment to delivering integrated Early Intervention services to Pennsylvania’s children.

To support participation, family leaders were provided with lodging, travel and childcare reimbursement, and honorarium for those who contributed to planning and presenting at the event.
