my answer i think it is a.

Answer 1

I disagree with A.

Btw -- for two years in my lengthy teaching career, I was our rural school system's child study coordinator. I had to make sure that federal guidelines were followed, and that children were evaluated and placed as their IEP recommended.

Answer 2

Yes, you are correct. The correct answer is A. by creating opportunities for the family to show their strengths. By assuming that the family can handle the changes and requirements of their child's diagnosis, Tonya is empowering the family and providing them with the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities and strengths in supporting their child. This approach encourages the family's empowerment and helps to build their confidence and sense of capability in managing their child's situation.
