According to IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act), the term "parent" or "parents" includes biological parents, adoptive parents, and foster parents, unless state law or a court order says otherwise. It also includes individuals acting in the place of parents, such as grandparents or legal guardians, as well as individuals who are legally responsible for the child's welfare, such as a caseworker from a child welfare agency. Therefore, the best choice would be whoever is a primary caregiver to a child, regardless of their relationship to the child or whether they live in the same household.
