I met AH at her house in Queens as she returned from Rosie’s, her after school program. After changing and eating a snack she assured me that she was ready for the interview. AH’s family had previously assisted me in a previous assignment however, to assure rapport was still present I began by talking about a recent trip to Pennsylvania she was on. Afterwards, I assured AH that the interview was only for practice purpose and we began. During the interview, I observed as AH would pause for certain questions and look around thinking thoroughly for the correct answer. For example, when questioned about what she would do with three wishes, she thought hard about each one. From time to time she would pick up her phone and respond to a text in which she later informed me was her

Cole’s mother and English teacher completed BASC II scales. The BASC II measures a student’s emotional, behavioral, and adaptive functioning. The score that is used for the scale is the T-score. The T-score indicates the distance of a score from the norm group mean. The BASC II has a mean T-score of 50 with a standard deviation of 10. Scores ranging 60 to 69 are considered to be in the At-Risk range. The T-scores that are 70+ are in the Clinically Significant range. On the Adaptive Scale portion of the BASC II, the T-Scores that are from 30 to 39 are in the At-Risk range. The T-scores that are below 29 are in the Clinically Significant range.
The Child Study data I have gathered comes from the observation I have completed at Mission Bell Elementary School. Mission Bell Elementary School is a local school in Riverside. In the P.M preschool class there are 24 students, one teacher, and one assistant. The child I decided to observe is names Zoe. Zoe is 4 years and 10 months old. I immediately was drawn to Zoe because she had such a big personality, was very social, and smart.

While observing her I had to pay close attention to her biosocial development, motor skills, cognitive skills, communication skills,

In the beginning, the Children’s Bureau was part of the Department of Commerce, but was later transferred to the Department of Labor in 1913. The law that brought the Children’s Bureau into existence also called for the Bureau to be headed by a Chief, who would be a Presidential appointee, subject to Senate confirmation. The first Chief of the Children's Bureau was Julia Lathrop, one of the Chicago women who helped lobby for the Illinois juvenile court. During the initial years, the Children’s Bureau took on as special projects child mortality, deaths of mothers in childbirth, child labor, and juvenile delinquency (Bradbury and Eliot, 1956). Through studies and surveys, as well as through public education programs, improvements were shown in

Initially during the interview, she appeared to be tensed and abrupt in responding to the questions. On some instances, she gave vague and short answers because of frustration, so the examiner had to probe her answers some more. During the interview, there is a neutral rapport present between her and the examiner. However, there is a minimal eye contact, hand gestures, and tend to overuse the word “ahh” and “hmm”.
