  • Developmental Pediatrics

Background:

  • Early identification of children with special needs is crucial for timely intervention.
  • Teachers play a vital role in observing and reporting developmental and learning differences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish reliable variables for teachers to identify children with special needs in kindergarten.
  • To differentiate between high-achieving and low-achieving students using specific indicators.

Main Methods:

  • Study involved 64 kindergarten children (32 high-achieving, 32 low-achieving).
  • Data collected via parent and teacher questionnaires and standardized testing.
