I think option D makes the most sense because it allows the family to understand how behavior analysis can help them before making any decisions.

I feel like setting up contracts could be effective, but I wonder if the parents would actually follow through with it.

This question reminds me of a practice scenario where we had to decide between direct intervention and referral. I think option B might be the safest choice.
