### 1. Importance of Early Screening for Teachers
Early screening is crucial for teachers as it allows them to identify
developmental delays or challenges in students at an early stage,
enabling timely intervention and support. Early identification can guide
teachers in creating personalized learning strategies that cater to the
unique needs of each child. It also facilitates collaboration between
teachers, parents, and specialists to ensure that children receive the
necessary resources and adaptations for their educational and social
growth.
### 2. Examples from the Case Study Supporting Early Screening
1. **Communication Challenges**: Tshepo cannot communicate
verbally although his parents understand his gestures. Early screening
would have helped teachers recognize his need for alternative
communication strategies sooner, which might include the use of
picture exchange communication systems.
2. **Social Interaction Difficulties**: Tshepo prefers to play alone and
finds it difficult to engage with classmates. The introduction of a buddy
system is a response to his social challenges. Identifying these
difficulties early could have led to more structured social interventions
at the beginning of the school year.
3. **Behavioral Issues**: Tshepo exhibits challenging behavior such as
temper tantrums when his needs are not addressed. Early screening
could have highlighted the importance of implementing specific
behavioral support strategies, like using pictorial support, much earlier
in his classroom experience to help manage his frustrations effectively.
