Done when

Carer observations and a follow-up plan are available.

Discuss observed situations rather than labeling the child.

Who this is for

When development is a concern; seek professional assessment rather than self-diagnosing.

Why this matters

Observations across settings make follow-up more specific.

How to do it

An original activity to try, adapt or skip for your circumstances; outcomes are not guaranteed.

  1. Record observations, dates and context without assigning a diagnosis.
  2. Ask the teacher or carer whether they see similar situations.
  3. Agree on a follow-up date and ask about professional assessment if concerns remain.
