Initial Disappointment and Resolution
The review highlights a disappointing experience with a screening on a child's bilingual background not being taken into account. However, the speech pathologist quickly responded to the parent's concerns, passed on additional information to the preschool, and offered to update consent forms to include linguistic background information in the future. The owner, Christine, also personally followed up to address the parent's concerns, leading to a positive resolution.
Communication and Follow-up
The review emphasizes the importance of effective communication and follow-up in resolving issues. The speech pathologist and the owner, Christine, demonstrated a commitment to understanding and addressing the parent's concerns, leading to a satisfying outcome.
