This Group Represents 0-Life (STARS, SESTA, IATP)
- STARS and SESTA can collaborate during 3-13
  - Behavior Support and Child Care Settings
  - Pre-School
  - Refer to each other as questions arise. When STARS receives SPED questions. Comes up during the ages and stages questionnaire.
  - Child Find - refer to SESTA (throughout the state)
  - BOTH work with IPUL
- ITC - Help Desk Request
  - Special Education Roadmap
- AT can collaborate STARS/SESTA can collaborate on consultations for all ages
  - AT is a lifelong support for people, so it's important to collaborate in early childhood all the way through school, post-secondary transition, and life after high school!
- We don't collaborate enough -> there is both a physical and data-based gap (there should be more clarity and transparency, as is appropriate, so that we can avoid over repetition as well as see where supports for clients and families are missing)
  - Inclusion in Idaho is still lacking, and so filling those gaps can help support genuine and natural inclusion for individuals with disabilities
- Training so that we can direct families to the correct resources - ex: everyone should know how to direct families to IPUL or STARS parent education night, if they are new to K-12
  - Spending more time creating opportunities for each agency to get to know about the other agencies in our organization (We should know more about what is being offered overall)
  - RECC
