A. Encouraging them to read books about cerebral palsy
B. Introducing them to a family and community support group
C. Counseling them about the diagnosis and address their concerns
D. Helping them adjust the home environment according to the child's need
Explanation:
The initial supportive measure for parents who have just received a diagnosis of cerebral palsy for their child should be direct counseling. This involves providing clear, compassionate, and thorough information about the diagnosis, addressing their immediate concerns, and helping them understand what cerebral palsy means for their child's future. This step is crucial to help reduce their anxiety and tension. Encouraging reading, support groups, and home adjustments are important but secondary steps after initial counseling.
