Question 1 of 5
Which response indicates that the student has evaluated a 3-year-old's behavior appropriately?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because evaluating a 3-year-old's behavior based on developmental norms is essential for understanding age-appropriate behavior. This approach considers the child's stage of development and helps differentiate between normal behaviors and potential concerns. Choice B is incorrect because jumping to conclusions about ADHD without considering developmental norms may lead to misdiagnosis. Choice C is incorrect as assuming early stages of ASD without proper evaluation can be premature. Choice D is incorrect because labeling the child with ODD based solely on behavior may overlook developmental factors. Overall, choice A is the most appropriate as it emphasizes the importance of understanding behavior in the context of developmental norms.
