Will the program admit my child?
Do they have room?
Is my child the right age?
Is my child’s developmental level appropriate?
How much time will it take, at the clinic and at home?
How much work will it take from caregivers?
Are the caregivers willing and able to do their part?
How convenient is it to where I live?
How much does it cost?
Will insurance, school, or government benefit programs cover the cost?
