Lincoln County Head Start provides
comprehensive services to children with disabilities and develops
Individual Family Service Plans (IFSP) for each child.
The IFSP is developed collaboratively among professionals and parents
and is designed to guide a developmentally appropriate program for each
child with a disability.
IFSP services include necessary
modifications for curriculum and materials; related services such as
speech/language therapy, occupational therapy, psychological
counseling, and social work services; and other instructional supports
needed for the child to succeed.
Lincoln County Head Start
collaborates with the local public schools to provide inclusive
settings for children with disabilities in a natural environment. A
"natural environment" provides opportunity for interactions among
children with disabilities and those without disabilities.
