When preparing a child with autism spectrum disorder for a blood draw, the child life specialist should consider:
-
A
Using the standard preparation approach for all children
-
B
Adapting the approach based on the child's sensory sensitivities, communication style, and need for predictability
-
C
Skipping preparation entirely since children with ASD cannot understand it
-
D
Using only verbal explanations since visual supports are not helpful for ASD
