What are some good ways to approach a parent about developmental screening of their child?

*approach with kindness and empathy because this is their child that you’re talking about and it could cause anxiety or panic to find out that anything is different with the child

*practice the interaction with a coworker to be better prepared for any questions, comments, or concerns that might arise

* have all information documented and easy to read not only for your reference but so the parents can see as well

*keep a calm, professional, and confident tone while you discuss possible observation for student/students
