The goals of the children's system of care are to:

(2) Recommend and make necessary financing changes to support individualized and flexible home and community-based services and supports that are child centered, family driven, strength based, and culturally competent;
(3) Support a common screening tool and integrated care coordination system;
(4) Recommend and make necessary changes in contracting to support integrated service delivery;
(5) Promote and increase the expansion of system capacity for children and their families in each demonstration site community;
(6) Develop the capacity of family members to provide support for one another and to strengthen the family voice in system implementation through the utilization of a citizens' advisory board as described in *RCW
74.55.040 and through other outreach activities;
(7) Conduct research and draw on outside consultation to identify best practices to inform system development and refinement; and
