Often children with a labeled diagnose experience discrimination due to their label. Although labels can provide children with access to beneficial materials and educational support, those same labels can lead to negative academic, behavioural, and personality evaluations from educators, caregivers, and peers due to preconceived ideas of what the label means (Franz et al., 2023). There are many mixed feelings about labelling children due to the long list of pros and cons that come with specific labels. This interactive image provides some insight into the pros and cons of common labels in early childhood.
