Quality screening instruments disregard characteristics that apply to individual children, such as culture and language.TrueFalse

The statement "Quality screening instruments disregard characteristics that apply to individual children, such as culture and language" is False.

Quality screening instruments are designed to assess children's developmental progress and identify any potential issues. Good quality instruments take into account the cultural and linguistic background of children to ensure that the assessments are fair and accurate. By incorporating these characteristics, the instruments can better reflect the child's abilities and needs. Disregarding these factors can lead to misinterpretations of a child's development and potential, thereby not providing the necessary support or intervention. Therefore, it is essential that quality screening instruments are culturally and linguistically sensitive to truly understand and support the individual child’s development effectively.
