The physical therapist is practicing in early intervention (IDEA part C) and evaluates a child with a diagnosis of global developmental delays. Examination findings reveal significant gross motor delays. The physical therapist recommends direct PT intervention at a frequency of 2 times per week to address these delays, but the family who is providing the child with a safe loving home feels that their child is making adequate progress with gross motor skills and are too busy to incorporate the recommendation of PT 2 times per week, but would like to have PT 2 times per month with recommendations for things to work on. How should the physical therapist proceed in this scenario?
