He highlighted the importance of parents and teachers understanding the specific challenge the child faces, whether in speech, comprehension, or social interaction, and providing organized support through individualized plans and continuous follow-up. He pointed out that early diagnosis and collaborative intervention among family, school, and specialists contribute to improving the child's participation in the classroom.
