Again I disagree , I think coming to a dcp with 'oh have you noticed dck speech is not where it should be for his age ' is wrong . Children develop all over the spectrum. If someone said to me about my child not being in the 'normal ' category of development , I would be wanting their credentials ! What gives you the right to question my child's development ? Did I send her to you to be diagnosed ? I feel my job is to care for the child to the best of my ability I do not feel even though I have experience with children it gives me that right .
My services are to provide a safe , caring , educational , interesting , place for a child to be when their parents are at work .
I do not charge for diagnosing and I do not feel unless a parent comes out and asks for my 'opinion' I have a right to say any child in my care isn't progressing at a 'normal' rate.
I'm not saying you need to change your views or practises and I certainly won't be changing mine .
