Last fall a friend of mine took her little boy to be screened for preschool. After a battery of tests the screener told my friend they would put the little boy on a waiting list for the Title 1 preschool. They also told my friend that her little boy would need services from the early childhood special education center.
According to the screener one of the tests they performed indicated the little boy did not have problem solving skills. His mother told me that the test consisted of them taking the boy to a room that had a chair pulled away from the table. To pass the test the child without prompting was supposed to recognize the chair was pulled out and go push it in. Another indicator that the child needed special services was that he could not identify all the letters of the alphabet.
My friend was upset with the conclusion that her son would need special education. I am an educator and I know the little boy. I am angry that a screener would say this to a parent. I don't believe that the child needs services based on what I have seen and even if he did--I don't think that a parent should be told like that. How can you even label a 3 year old anyway?
A few days ago I was visiting my friend and her son had a snack and wanted to sit in the living room at the coffee table. He looked around and then asked his mom where one of his play chairs were. She replied that they were all outside and were not going to be brought in. He looked thoughtfully around the room, then said "I know!" Walking over to a small plastic tub full of toys, he dumped out the toys and brought the tub to the coffee table. Flipping the tub over, he gladly sat upon it to eat his snack. Now if that isn't problem solving, I don't know what is.
Please don't make quick decisions when labeling children. And don't believe everything a supposed expert tells you.

Such a beautiful post, I want to share a testimony on how Dr itua healing herbs cure me.
The worst time has passed”However, it is true that there are more improvements than before...because of the rising numbers of people living with HIV in the state of Nevada. How could they stigmatize all of them? Therefore everything becomes a little easier and we start to share everything... We also started to invite and visit each other in a community. You know, it is six years since I started taking antiretroviral drugs...Yet whatever problems I face, the worst time has passed
When I was evicted from the family home by my mother, my father rented a small room for me. But my mother and brothers believed that having HIV was my own fault – and that I deserved to be punished...I also considered myself unworthy and without hope... But I have a child and eventually I convinced myself to live for my child’s sake.
My mother knew nothing [about HIV]. She didn’t understand anything. Do you know why? She didn’t have [the chance] to go out of the house and communicate with society. However, my father does interact with the community. I know his friends are mature and dignified in africa america. So he has a better understanding than her.
My father came call me on a sadfull day sitting on my couch about a friend of his from africa who introduce him to Dr Itua herbal cure in africa in which he advise we should purchase his herbal medicine to cure my hiv so we did and Dr Itua prescribed I should drink the herbal medicine for two weeks to cure although we were so curious about the whole thing ,I finished the herbal medicine like he advised then he talked to me to visit my nearest clinic for check up I did and now I'm totally cured from Hiv my father was my rock and I and my family are now happy together also Dr Itua has be helpful in my community ever since he cure my Hiv and my tinnitus so why I'm leaving my story on here today is to reach out someone out here to hope on God and never give up no matter the situation you that you are facing especially through this pandemic seasons which has really taught us all on how we should be helpful to each other and cherish one another.
