parents
and with the child's coffin of timber 23 year old

with any typical child so
it gave me an idea to know what to expect with the typical child and then
to know
where she should be so with her teacher Barbara she's helped
show me that well natalie might not be here but this is what we can work on
together there
the I FSP documents and guides the early intervention process
for children with special needs and their families the goal is to provide
the child with quality
educational programs along with good medical care
and a stimulating home environment shows me goals that she's
already accomplished and get some girl should be able to accomplish
in future six months or a year from now the first step
in the eye of SP process is testing it includes the child's
current level of development including physical
cognitive communication social or emotional

limitations
accommodations can be made with a there
and nato writing ABT to learn to do the typewriter
or that you know some kind of computer you know
so they will learn to poke the letter so they're still learning a beekeeper
