Services that are extremely helpful for lower income people include the head start programs as well as WIC, (Women, Infants and Children). The WIC programs concentrate on
Nutritional and physical development of children and the heat start programs are geared toward identifying children that have
Special Education needs. Head start programs begin working with children as young as three years old. The program offers both home based as well as center based activities for preschool aged children. All women are given information about the head start programs at the time their child is born. Head start programs are a great way for a
child at risk of
Special Education needs as well as for children that live in questionable
Parenting situations, to have another adult involved with them.
