The following factors influence how well a family adapts to the presence of a child with disabilities:

a. the nature of the stressor event, the family's resources, and the perception of the situation. b. the degree of disability, the prognosis for the child, and the level of care required.
c. income, social status, and marital status.
d. the knowledge level of the parents, the number of siblings, and the income level.

Question 2

One of the assumptions of the family-focused approach is that

a. professionals should counsel parents as to an appropriate level of involvement in their child's program.
b. involving and supporting families is likely to be less effective than just treating the child, but it is more cost- effective when parents are not adversarial.
c. professionals should attend to family priorities for goals and services, even when those priorities differ substantially from professional priorities.
d. while intervention and support of families has little influence on the child with a disability, it is important to educate families and encourage parent advocacy.
