The team should make accommodations to ensure the family's needs are met, such as rescheduling the meeting for a time when Kim's sister can attend. It is important to have the family's support during the IFSP process, and denying the sister's attendance may cause unnecessary stress for Kim. Forfeiting services should not be a consequence for not attending the meeting, as the team should work with the family to find a time that works for everyone.
