ICP helps develop collaborative agreements, proposals, and in-house training. ICP Services are By referral only. Children may be referred by parents or representative agencies. To refer a child to the program, complete an ICP referral form. Services are provided at no cost to families or agencies. Supplemental Services are offered when the responsible agency lacks the necessary resources to provide needed services.

Referrals can come from parents, Indian Health Services, Head Start, schools and other agencies that have limited or no resources to provide necessary services for children with disabilities.

Assessments include comprehensive developmental evaluations as well as discipline specific evaluations. The interdisciplinary team conducts assessments in the setting most appropriate for the child—the home, school, local health clinic or other community-based site and family members are encouraged to participate in all aspects of the assessment.

ICP collaborates with parents, service providers, school staff and other agency personnel to identify a child’s needs and to assist with program planning for early intervention and special education services. ICP collaborates with many tribal, state, and federal agencies in order to provide appropriate services to children and their families. Training and technical assistance activities can involve parents, family members, early interventionists, classroom staff, and other professional program personnel to enhance their capacity to support the specific needs of children with disabilities.

Common topics include motor or language development, positive behavior management, understanding the service systems, increasing collaboration, and the special education process.
