Early Identification of Developmental and Learning Delays Training for Educators equips teachers and education professionals with the knowledge and skills to recognise early signs of developmental and learning delays in children. Early identification is critical to ensuring that children receive timely intervention and support, significantly improving their long-term educational and life outcomes.
Developmental and learning delays can affect language, motor skills, social development, and academic performance. Teachers are often the first professionals to notice when a child is not meeting expected developmental milestones. Early identification allows for prompt referral, specialist assessment, and targeted intervention before challenges become more significant.
