What are Some Challenges in Conducting Developmental Assessments?
Conducting developmental assessments can present several challenges, including:
1. Variability in Development: Children develop at different rates, and what is normal for one child may not be for another. 2. Parental Anxiety: Parents may feel anxious about the outcomes, which can affect their responses during assessments. 3. Access to Services: Limited access to specialists and early intervention services can delay the support a child needs. 4. Cultural Differences: Cultural factors can influence how children develop and how parents perceive development, requiring sensitivity and adaptability from healthcare providers.
