What is typical development and what should be a concern?
A helpful guidebook for child development can be found on the Birth-to-Three website or by following the link How I Grow: Birth to Three. For more information on indicators of learning disabilities, please visit the Bright Futures website and read Learning Disabilities: Common Signs or check out the National Center for Learning Disabilities Learning Disabilities Checklist.
Many parents find it easier to discuss their concerns about their child’s development or learning with the school if they have a detailed list of examples of their specific concerns that they have seen in their child. It is also helpful to fill out a Positive Student Profile in order to describe all aspects of your child.
