Good observational skills are essential. You can learn so much about a child just by watching & using your clinical experience to interpret what you see (followed by real testing - of course!) So we thought we'd have a little fun. Very loosely based upon the best-selling book - "All I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten", we created:
