- Maintain open, respectful, and supportive communication with families and caregivers.
- Provide guidance on adaptive equipment and environmental modifications to optimize the child’s participation in daily activities.
- Maintain accurate and timely records, including progress notes, treatment plans, and IFSP updates, in compliance with state and federal regulations.
