Act Early
If you are worried that you child’s behaviour, development or
learning progress may be a cause for concern, the essential
beginning step is to ask your child’s doctor for a developmental
screening in speech, language, fine and gross motor, hearing,
and vision. When the developmental screening indicates the need
for further assessment, ask your child’s doctor for a referral to a
specialist, which could include a developmental pediatrician, or
child psychologist or neurologist, to get a full, individual evaluation
to be conducted. As identifying children with special needs is a very
tricky task and can be confused with a lot of other issues, it is best
to seek input from a specialist.
