I think that I would do the necessary developmental screenings and go off the results of those. I would discuss the child’s strengths and what they are doing well before I got to screening results. I would let them know about Early Intervention that actually can give children the help they might need to be successful in school and life. I would stress that these are measures than can be taken for their child to address any delays that they might have. In the matter of speech delays, I would encourage them that they are definately not alone, as many children experience all different sorts of speech delays.
