Which of the following is not a component of the Comprehensive Developmental Model's four components?

• A. Counseling
• B. Coordination
• C. Assessment
• D. Referral

Answer: (C)

This model organizes service delivery around four activities that guide developmental support: counseling, coordination, collaboration (often described as consultation with families and professionals), and referral. Assessment isn’t listed as a separate component in this framework. While gathering information and evaluating needs are essential activities that inform counseling targets, resource coordination, and when referrals are appropriate, these tasks are integrated within the four components rather than standing alone as a separate component. So, the reason this choice fits best is that assessment, though important, is not designated as one of the four components of the Comprehensive Developmental Model.
