The State Coordinating Council for Residential
Placement of Handicapped Children was created by
the Governor in 1982 (Executive Order
01.01.1982.09). In 1987, the Governor reestab-
lished the Council within the Office for Handi-
capped Individuals (Executive Order
01.01.1987.10). The Council has developed pro-
cedures for the operation of Local Coordinating
Councils to assure that those handicapped children
who need residential placement at treatment cen-
ters and schools receive a complete plan of care.

With the Local Coordinating Councils, the State
Coordinating Council plans, coordinates, and mon-
itors multiple-agency services for handicapped chil-
dren in residential placements and for those
requiring residential placement. It also maintains a
multiple-agency information system that assures
agency accountability to handicapped children and
enables the State to plan for needed services.

The State Coordinating Council consists of the
Secretary of Health and Mental Hygiene, the Sec-
retary of Human Resources, the Director of the
Juvenile Services Agency, and the State Superinten-
dent of Schools, or their designees. The Director of
the Office for Handicapped Individuals and the
Director of the Office for Children and Youth serve
ex officio as nonvoting members.
