The easiest way to answer this question is to ask some questions. The following questions may be of assistance:
- Is my child difficult to understand when he/she speaks?
- Does my child have difficulty attending to activities?
- Does my child have difficulty listening to stories and understanding what is read?
- Does my child have difficulty getting along with others or forming appropriate relationships with others?
- Does my child have difficulty understanding basic concepts?
- Is my child having difficulty in pre-school for a reason that is not clear to me?
