Question

Zybrea Knight · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The other three options provide valid reasons why a child with disabilities may have less initiative and motivation to play in a new environment, but option D suggests that the child is not capable of the same type of play as a typically developing child, which is not necessarily the case. Children with disabilities may engage in play differently or at a different pace, but they are still capable of play and exploration.
