This program stresses the importance of teamwork, not just among the medical staff, but also between the staff and the families of special-needs children. Team-building starts with inclusion, listening, and trust. Questions such as, "What do you expect from the hospital stay?" and "What are your goals for your child?" allow the parents to voice their concerns and to participate in their child’s recovery.
