MODULE 6:

1. Reflection paper about the red flags, developmental delays and


irregularities in the child’s development shared by the invited professional.
DEVELOPMENTAL RED FLAGS Signs and Symptoms of
Developmental Delays. In clinical terms, there are a few "absolute
indicators," often referred to as "red flags," that identify the behavioral
or developmental markers suggesting the need for further evaluation.
For a parent, these "red flags" should serve as a catalyst prompting
developmental screening to ensure that the child is on the right
developmental path. If your child shows two or more of these signs,
please ask your pediatric healthcare provider for an immediate
evaluation. It is also highly recommended that whenever a parent
suspects that there may be such concerns that you go through a
Referral Process to ensure that your child gets the help he or she
needs. Doctors used to (and some still do) take a "wait and see"
approach, but today it is clear that early intervention is the key to the
greatest possible outcomes for children with such issues.
2. Consolidated samples of the developmental checklists used in early
childhood education and a matrix on the checklists’ similarities and
differences.
