José, a 14-year-old Mexican-American boy, comes to therapy with his mother. He presents with a flat affect and avoids eye contact during the initial assessment session. During the assessment process, José remains quiet as his mother provides a list of José's symptoms and behaviors that she would like you, as the social worker, to address. Before the initial assessment session comes to an end, José requests that you meet with him individually from now on. After deciding that it would be appropriate to schedule individual sessions, what is your legal obligation?

A. Assess whether the absence of Jose's father is having an impact on his behavior or this session.

B. Refer his mother for individual therapy to avoid abandoning her as part of the treatment unit.

C. Document your decision to meet individually with José.

D. Ask his mother to sign a new consent form for him to be treated individually.
