If an infant is assessed as low-functioning, what should the social worker help the family understand?

They cannot change the situation
The child will improve on their own
Community services are available to assist
They should seek specialized medical intervention

The correct answer is: Community services are available to assist

The correct answer emphasizes the importance of community services that can support both the child and the family in addressing the needs of a low-functioning infant. By helping the family understand that resources are available in their community, the social worker can empower them to access various forms of assistance, such as healthcare services, developmental therapies, and educational resources. These services can play a crucial role in the child’s development and the family’s ability to cope with their situation. It’s important for families to know they are not alone and that there are structured systems in place to provide support, so they can take proactive steps rather than feeling isolated or overwhelmed. Recognizing that help is accessible can foster a sense of hope and agency for the family. Such an understanding can also encourage them to engage with professionals who can provide tailored interventions and support, which is especially vital in early developmental stages.
