At your infants most recent checkup, the pediatrician advised you that your baby has a developmental issue (e.g., physical, neurological, or cognitive). You are to determine what the issue is (e.g., hearing impairment, Autism, learning disability, etc.), and whether it is mild or severe.
What have you learned about this developmental issue? From where are you seeking information?
How does knowing your child has this issue impact how you view him/her?
How does it impact how you view yourself?
What changes do you need to make in your daily routine and/or childcare related to this new diagnosis and the childs needs and best interests?
What can be done to address your childs developmental issue? What challenges will you experience in addressing them?
