Question:

A new student enters your school and is assigned to your kindergarten classroom. Upon meeting the child, you are struck by an obvious lack of school readiness. The parents tell you that the child has no siblings and was never enrolled in daycare or preschool. Brief interaction with the child convinces you of the need for evaluation for special services, but the parents are reluctant. They do not think their child needs any additional support, just time to adjust to the environment. How do you address this situation?
