Read the passage given below. Based on your understanding of the passage,
answer the questions 17 to 19 :
Pre-school and kindergarten teachers are at an advantageous position to
catch the early signs and symptoms of a developmental delay or disability
and to identify children who are at risk in learning and school. Teachers
need to be aware of symptoms and share their observations and concerns
with parents and other specialists. The purpose of early identification is to
determine which children have developmental problems that may be
obstacles to learning or that places children at risk. Development in early
childhood years is characterized by broad variability in rates and patterns
of maturation. At present no clear distinction can be made in early years
between children whose problems may persist and those who will make
adequate progress with time. Therefore young children who demonstrate
difficulties in early development may or may not be at risk for learning
disabilities.
