Child Observation 2

I set up an interview with his parents to discuss his progress and find out some information about David. A translator will be needed due to his parents not speaking English. I’ve asked the parents how David’s behavior is at home and how his attitude is towards his school work. I also asked his parents how he reacts when asked about his classmates and school in general. Is he excited to go to school? Does he like learning? Does he have any friends he talks to? After this, I discussed how David is in class including his behavior. He tries to participate sometimes in school and just sits quietly at times. I have noticed him trying to work harder and understand certain material. He will try to reply when spoken to in his best ability. When he is in a group whether it’s playing or working on a project he will attempt to converse with the others.

When Justin was asked why he thought he was at the agency he said “My teachers do not like me and yell at me a lot.” Charlene notes that Justin is a good kid and that he is very intelligent. She went on to say that he just seems to go and go like he is the energizer bunny.

Whether it is his hands, legs, feet or arms he just keeps going.” Joseph notes that reading is Justin’s least favorite and most difficult subject. When asked what his best subject was Charlene noted that he excels at math.

Prior to attending school in Eudora, Aaron received services from the Wellsville School District. Aaron was initially evaluated for Part C in 2005- 2006 as a two year old. Due to the severity of Aaron’s speech delay, Aaron qualified for speech services. In 2006-2007 concerns continued to exist about Aaron’s academics and social skills. His IEP team recommended placement in PALS (preschool) class. The following year (2007-2008), as a four year old, Aaron’s services continued in the ECSE preschool program. At that time Occupational Therapy Services were added to work on motor skills.

This photo of mine resemble the relationship of my mother and I. The photo was taking by my mom in Joshua tree national park during the summer of this year. Different types and heights’ rocks and Joshua trees are all over the place in the park. In the photo, I am sitting on a rock, which was the highest; wearing a long white dress; it had lots of laces on it, and above me was a sky full of stars and Milky Way.

.My son’s pathway seems to be fairly good for children his age. This is so because for one though he is in constant argument with me about his chores and grades, he always completes his house chores and does his best to work on his grades in school. In terms of cognitive behavior, my son is on the right pathway. This is because he has a great sense of judgment of character. He is able to tell what is good and bad almost instantly. His social development is also in the right path which is demonstrated by his interest in political and religious talk. The fact that he gets easily agitated by quarrels with his peers from since middle school to high school, I could have easily predicted his emotional growth. He tends to be anti-social since he is
