We also have accessible playground equipment and chairs for seating children at the same level around a table. What makes Feldmeyer's childcare facility different from the rest is the staff. According to Feldmeyer, when looking for daycare for children with disabilities or special needs, be sure that the center has an inclusive environment. The director of the center should be willing to overstaff to provide the right number of people to care for the children. There are many opportunities for parents to receive aid with the cost of the daycare.

A new Council on State-Operated Care Facilities will develop a plan to help ensure the health and safety of those Indiana citizens under the state's care. For several years, Indiana has been changing the culture and structure of its state-run facilities for persons who have developmental disabilities, mental illnesses and other health needs. State officials want to develop a long-range plan providing for a continuum of care that includes state institutions and other facilities, as well as bridging that care into community settings. The council will assess each facility's current functioning in light of changes in their populations, changes in the fields of care and changes in society. Meetings will be conducted to educate the public and gather input.
