Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 11, November 20, 2024
Section I-16101 - IntroductionA. The first and primary natural environment for all people is the family. Children, regardless of the severity of their disability, need families and enduring relationships with adults in a nurturing home environment. As with all children, children with developmental disabilities need families and family relationships to develop to their fullest potential. Services for persons with developmental disabilities should be responsive to the needs of the individual and the individual's family, rather than fitting the person into existing programs. Flexible Family Fund assists families in keeping their child with a severe developmental disability at home.La. Admin. Code tit. 48, § I-16101
