④When determining the seating arrangements for the person observing the trial and decision pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1), and the person accompanying that person, pursuant to the preceding paragraph, and the seating arrangements for court officials where the trial and decision takes place, the presiding judge must consider the impact it will have on the mental and physical state of the juvenile.
