Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Making observations can provide concrete evidence to support concerns about a child's development. It is important to document any observations and concerns to share with parents and other professionals for further evaluation and support. Ignoring concerns or approaching a school counselor without first making observations or involving parents may not provide accurate or appropriate support for the child.
