The Local Early Intervention Council (LEICC) is a group of parents, professionals and community members. The purpose of LEICC is to provide a forum to discuss issues related to the needs of young children with developmental delays and their families, as well as share education, ideas, concerns and experiences.
As a parent of a special needs child, your participation on the Dutchess County LEICC can help ensure the quality and availability of services in our community.
Parent participation provides insight into their child’s daily life and experiences while ensuring that processes and changes stay focused on actions that will be helpful. It also allows for the sharing of successful strategies that have been used with your child to meet challenges, and discuss how the strategies might be valuable to other families and the group.
Meetings are held twice a year, typically in January and July. An invitation is sent to members prior to the meeting with the date, time and location. Sign up with DutchessDelivery to receive notices of upcoming LEICC meetings.
Support is available to parent members for travel and childcare.
