When a child makes the transition from being cared for at home today care or school, the family is faced with a lot of new situations and changes in life. If the child has special needs, preparation for these changes should be thorough. Cooperation between the rehabilitation services provider and day care or school is essential to guarantee the child an optimal learning environment.
