• Lack of cooperation in certain lessons and quieter sessions.
• Language development delays and taking longer to understand new things.
• Fear of getting things wrong.
• Paying attention to a child's strengths and interests.
• Differences in interactions with peers.
• Looking at a child's personal progress.
