Handout 7: Directions for Group Leaders

---

Work with your small group to complete Handout 8 - Planning Worksheet. Use the questions below to help guide your discussion. During your discussion, remind members to think about Carla in terms of their specific roles.

• What questions would you want to ask Carla's parents?
  
  
  
• What questions would you want to ask other Head Start staff and service providers, such as Carla's occupational therapist or nurse?
  
  
  
  
• What services, supports, or resources might be needed to include Carla in the program? Consider such topics as transportation, playground, classroom setup, scheduling, meals, safety, health care, buildings, field trips, etc. (Remember, some supports will be costly, but others require more creativity than money.)
  
  
  
• What other steps could you take to help Carla and her family feel included, while ensuring that all children have opportunities to learn and grow?
  
  
  
• What other questions, concerns, or fears would you have?
