Are teachers qualified to diagnose childrens health conditions?

Answer 1

No. That is not a part of their training or scope of practice. They are trained to spot potential problems and know to whom they need to refer, but they themselves cannot be the ones to make a decision on determining which health condition the child may have. That can only be performed by a health professional like a doctor, or sometimes a nurse practitioner.
