admitted to a facility, the facility shall provide for the    

special needs of each infant or toddler.

consultant.  The consultation shall include written    

recommendations to cover the child's special needs or to    

define the child's participation in the program.    

        (c)  If the infant's or toddler's health care source    

considers it advisable, the staff of the program shall    

receive training related to the nature of the child's    

disability before the infant or toddler is  admitted to    

the facility.   

        (d)  Where the nature of the infant's or toddler's     

handicap or the number of handicapped children in the    

program necessitates added care, staff and equipment shall    

be available to cover these requirements.
