Section 14: Communication, Cooperation, and Coordination (Sections 704(I-k) of the Act; 34 CFR 364.26 and .27)

1. The State takes steps that maximize the communication, cooperation, coordination, and working relationships among --
   1. the SILS program, the SILC and CILs; and
   2. the DSU, other State agencies represented on the SILC, other councils that address the needs of specific disability populations and issues, and other public and private entities, including Indian Tribal Councils, determined to be appropriate by the SILC.
2. (b) The State ensures that services funded under Chapter 1 will complement and be coordinated with other services to avoid unnecessary duplication with other Federal, State, and local programs, including the IL program for older individuals who are blind funded under Chapter 2 of Title VII.
3. (c) The State coordinates Federal and State funding for CILs and SILS
