When the Score Is Below the Cutoff Next Steps DO: D Set the stage for a successful conversation. Start with the observations, questions, or concerns of the child’s parent: . Put yourself in the parent’s shoes. Be supportive, not judgmental. Focus on milestones, absolute indicators, and the need to “rule out” anything serious. Refer parents and caregivers to other resources. . Emphasize the importance of early identification and intervention. Be confident that sharing your concerns is always the right thing to do. The hardest part is finding the right words and getting started. By sharing your concerns, you may help to validate what a parent is afraid or unable to express.
When the Score Is Below the Cutoff Next Steps D DON’T: Don’t dismiss a parent’s concerns. Don’t compare one child to another. Remember, each is unique. Don’t use labels, technical jargon Don’t scare a parent: keep it positive.
