I have leant about Apgar score which I did not know about, assumptions vs reality and how it can impact our decisions or journey and also learnt about Informal Diagnosis and its importance. There are so many things that I am thinking about, and my thoughts are running all over the place. If an educator is not aware about informal diagnosis, how will they help the child?  what do we do if the parent doesn't agree and is not ready for formal diagnosis, do we not help the child?

The three things I have learnt so far
1) to be open and absorbing before jumping into making assumptions,
And  non judgemental thought "there is no right or wrong
2) a very new concept for me - informal diagnosis
3) importance of making record of all the observations - gathering information formally
Two questions
1) how long does it take to make a informal diagnosis of a child? As in how long should a teacher or parent observe to start recording the observations
2)what do we do if we don't refer for formal diagnosis, what assistance do we give the child? And are the parents counseled too?

Third question
I have learnt that there is no right or wrong when it comes to interacting with others. It's certainly opened my mind to see and learn more.

Education of parents as well as teachers is important. This will help in more openness.

1. *Non-judgmental approach to a child

3. I think parents should be advised on the recommendations of FD. In case of denial, legal remedies should be considered, e.g. approaching the dept. of child welfare.
