The nurse is caring for a special needs infant. Which intervention will be most important in helping the child reach her maximum developmental potential?
A) Directing the parents to an early intervention program
B) Monitoring the child's progress in elementary school
C) Serving on an individualized education program committee
D) Preparing a plan for the child to make the transition to college
A
Response:
Early intervention is critical to maximizing the child's developmental potential by laying the foundation for health and development. While important, intervention at the elementary or secondary school level does not have the impact of early intervention. When the time arrives, it is important to have a written plan for transition to college, if this is a possibility for the grown child.
