approaching parents concerning developmental concern

[Jorden Thomas]

Documentation of observations and supporting materials to show to parents where they children are in their developemental stage. Also, knowing the local resources for referral is essential to help families understand what their next steps are. Have a list of local resources available so you will be able to connect families with additional information or help. It is always a good idea to call the resources in your area and establish a personal contact and positive relationship.

let the parents know that you have been observing their child and notice they may be delayed in some areas and back it up with resources.
