Answer 1

C use a translator or interpreter to try and interpret most of what the child is saying. 

Answer 2

Answer: C. Use a translator or interpreter.

Step-by-step explanation: When conducting any assessment, it is very important to maintain the objectivity as far as possible, when a child doesn't speak english, the best way to do the assessment is by using a translator or interpreter, who will hear what the child is saying and will translate it with objectivity and as close to what the child is expressing as it is possible, because a translator will not be bias in any way (like a family member may be).
