2. ask the parents of the child toprovide a caregiver during school hours.recommend that the child be homeschooled.
4. teach the teacher how to care for thechild in the classroom.
Answer:4
Rationale:Public Law 94-142 and Public Law 99-457 insure that all children ages 3 to 21 with disabilities will receive a free education. The child may need little extra attention while in the school setting,since he has had the tracheostomy for several years. The teacher should be taught how to care for the child if needed and the signs of distress.If needed,a health aide may be assigned to the child,but this is not the responsibility of the parents.
