Resource Consultants assist child care staff by:
- Assessing each child's specific special needs.
- Creating individual program plans.
- Carrying out daily activities according to the program plan.
- Assisting a child with special needs in the larger group setting.
- Working with parents to make sure they use the same approaches outside of child care.
