Should children be asesed and tested, and if so what should be assesed, tested, and measured? This is a question that i have found to be highly debatable, often with strong emotions attached to it. Here is my point of view:
I think that children should be assessed informally by their caregivers, educators, parents, and physician so that if there are any areas that the child is delayed or any areas that there are suspected disabilities or special needs the child can be formally assessed, and the problem can be focused on early in order to detur any major delay's in the future. I feel that children should be measured according to the averages that all children develop. Even though a child may be on the lower average there may be no special need or delay detected, but with basic informal assessments there would be an idea of possible delay's and the parents and caregivers would know what the child needs to work on.
