Private answer
A) The OT should recommend to the parents that the girl be evaluated by a prosthetic specialist to determine if she would benefit from a prosthesis. Not all children with congenital amputations need prosthetics to function, and the use of a prosthesis may hinder the girl’s functional skills rather than help them. Marked as spam
