(c) Children with disabilities will be included in activities and services normally provided to Head Start children with provisions for modification if necessary to meet special needs as specified by the IEP and to meet the 8 domains and 13 required elements/indicators. (d) The Disabilities Service Plan is a working document guiding the agency's effort to take into account the needs of children individually, including modifications of large group activity and small group activity as delineated by the IEP.
