Care to Share Support Network, Inc. will only serve as a referral service, and neither endorses, sponsors nor represents these providers. Families and the providers they meet are solely responsible for conducting their own interviews, reference checks and personalized training to accommodate their family’s needs. Because there are a limited number of providers at each fair, Care to Share is not responsible for ensuring that every family will recruit a provider. It is your responsibility to recruit a provider. Providers have the right to choose which families they support and are available on a first come first serve basis.

The Family seems to be the most effective and economical system for fostering

 and sustaining the child’s development.

  Without family involvement,  intervention is likely to be unsuccessful,

And what few effects are achieved  are likely to disappear once the intervention is discontinued.
