4. Home Observation for Measurementof the Environment (HOME).
Answer:3
Rationale: The Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales III (FACES III) evaluates differences between scores for an ideal family and "my family"to distinguish one's level of satisfaction with his own family. The Calgary Family Assessment Model uses three categories of information to reveal information about a family's strengths and problems. The Family APGAR gives initial measurements about the adaptability,partnership,growth,affection,and resolve of a family. The Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment (HOME) focuses upon strategies for interacting with a child in the home to promote learning.
