ANS: A
The cost of caring for a child with a disability often affects the family's financial well-being. One-third of children with disabilities who have insurance lack adequate coverage to meet their needs. Alteration of self-concept and self-esteem may affect individuals in the family, but not the family. Compliance with legislation and provision of health care services may be potential effects on the community.
