What should be the first resource that you use to determine the specific needs of a child who comes to your center with physical differences or medical issues?
The first resource that should be used to determine the specific needs of a child with physical differences or medical issues is their parents or guardians. Parents are often the best source of information as they know their child's medical history, specific needs, and any accommodations or assistance that may be required. They can provide vital insights into the child's abilities, limitations, and any necessary medical interventions. By having open and honest communication with the child's parents, the center can better understand and address the child's individual requirements.
