Kara’s preschool teacher has noticed that Kara’s expressive language skills seem delayed in comparison to her peers. She is hesitant to talk to Kara’s parents and assumes the problem will resolve itself. Which of the following should Kara’s teacher do?
  1. She should keep her concerns to herself to avoid offending or worrying Kara’s parents.
  2. She should mention her concerns to the parents and ask for their feedback.
  3. She should ask the other parents for their advice.
  4. She should ask an experienced special ed (SPED) teacher to observe Kara.
Explanation
Answer: D-Kara’s teacher should first seek the advice of an experienced special ed teacher.
One of the benefits of co-teaching or working in an inclusive team is the availability of experts to provide objective observations. Once the teacher’s suspicions are confirmed, she should share her findings with the parents in a positive, supportive manner. The teaching team, with the parents, can work together to determine the best course of action. The teacher should not assume that Kara will outgrow her difficulties without early intervention.
