NM FIT Program Key Principles
1. Infants and toddlers learn best through every day experiences and interactions with familiar people and familiar contexts.
2. All families, with the necessary supports and resources, can enhance their children’s learning and development.
3. The primary role of the service provider in early intervention is to work with and support the family members and caregivers in a child’s life.
4. The early intervention process, from initial contacts through transition, must be dynamic and individualized to reflect the child’s and family members’ preferences, learning styles and cultural beliefs.

NM Key Principles
5. IFSP outcomes must be functional and based on children’s and families needs and priorities.
6. The family’s priorities needs and interests are addressed most appropriately by a primary provider who represents and receives team and community support.
7. Interventions with young children and family members must be based on explicit principles, validated practices, best available research and relevant laws and regulations.
8. Support for families in developing strategies to understand, interpret and nurture their child’s development is best achieved through the use of reflective practices.
