You see a 9-month-old infant with a congenital disorder at her home. She loves her siblings and follows them everywhere. What would you ask the mother to do to insure that the infant is able to participate in your therapy sessions?
  1. Lock her siblings out of the room where therapy is occurring.
  2. Allow all the siblings to watch the therapy session, so that the infant does not feel lonely.
  3. Allow one of the siblings to assist during therapy sessions to motivate the infant.
  4. Provide therapeutic activities for all the children, so that they will feel included.
Explanation
Answer: C. Allow one of the siblings to assist during therapy sessions to motivate the infant. Having one of the infant’s siblings assist with therapy might be motivating to the infant and might facilitate progress. Allowing all of the siblings to participate or watch, however, would probably be too distracting for the infant.
