Goals vary greatly, depending upon the individual levels of development of each child.
Goals are to be reexamined every six months with an infant or toddler and revised as necessary.
Physical goals might include those that help with low muscle tone, including posturing and feeding. Physical and occupational therapists may both provide services in this area. Early intervention specialists can help design goals to stimulate early play and cognitive development. Social workers and psychologists should be available to help the family cope with the diagnosis and intervention needs.
