How to identify if your child needs further support or an evaluation for an Individualized Education Program (IEP).
Children develop at their own pace and can vary in reaching milestones. However, it’s helpful for parents or caretakers to be aware of any delays in the developmental areas. Diagnosis and early treatment can help significantly.
Do they:
- Struggle with reading, writing, or math?
- Have delayed speech or language development?
- Have frequent behavioral outbursts?
- Have trouble following instructions?
- Have difficulty staying focused or on task?
- Have sensory challenges–do they get overwhelmed by bright lights, loud noises, or crowded spaces?
