When the problem behavior is clearly on the child’s part, without any evidence that the parents in any way contributed to it, why would the parents still be given an appointment for a consultation with the psychologist?
  1. To be better informed about what the psychologist can do to help their child and what the parents can do to facilitate and maintain their child’s progress.
  2. To have a definite diagnosis so they will stop blaming themselves for their child’s problem.
  3. To authorize the psychologist to expedite getting their child’s class or school changed.
  4. To make sure the psychologist is doing his or her job properly and not wasting funds on unnecessary tests.
Explanation
Answer: A - Regardless of the reason for the child’s aberrant behavior, scheduling a consultation with the child’s parents is desirable. The reason is to increase the parents’ understanding of how therapy will help their child as well as the parents’ overall role and responsibility in facilitating and maintaining their child’s progress once therapy is implemented.
