Handbook
Principles Of The Infant-Toddler Program
To promote the importance of families in guiding the services
of children with special needs, the North Carolina Infant-Toddler Program
believes that:
- A child develops best if viewed first as a child, rather than as
a child with special needs.
- Children and families grow and develop, so services should change
to meet their needs and choices.
- As children are best supported within the family, the family is best
supported within the community.
- Children with special needs are best served in settings that are
used by all children.
- Family beliefs and values are important, as is the cultural (religious,
ethnic, and racial) background of the family.
- Teamwork among families and service providers guides services.
