Featured Question

A child in my class is having difficulties in almost all areas of development. Child Outreach Services administered a yearly basic screening covering vision, hearing, cognitive development, and language development. The screening results indicated that the child had vision and cogitive concerns. A follow-up meeting to share the results and plan next steps included the child's family, a case manager, and me. After reviewing the results, the family decided to forgo futher testing. How does an educator know whether to continue encouraging the family to seek further evaluation or services for their child, and when should the educator step back?
