What is the Family Empowerment and Disability Council (FEDC)?
The Family Empowerment and Disability Council is composed of the fourteen executive directors for the Family Empowerment Centers (FECs) on Disability established in regions throughout California.
The California Department of Education contracts with the WestEd Center for Prevention and Early Intervention to support the work of the council to:
- Provide central coordination of training and information dissemination,
- Develop a technical assistance system and activities,
- Conduct a periodic assessment and evaluation of the service delivery and management of each FEC,
- Assist FECs to build capacity to serve their geographic regions,
- Develop uniform tracking and data collection systems,
- Establish outcome-based evaluation procedures and processes to be used by the CDE,
- Conduct media outreach and other public education efforts to promote the goals of the FECs, and
- Support and coordinate system change advocacy efforts at the local, state, and national level.
