Significant Medical History: Developmental milestones were reported by Bryson's mother as on target with the exception that he was an early walker (at 10 months old). No other developmental concerns were noted.
Bryson was born via vaginal birth at 40 weeks gestation. Bryson’s mother reports no complications with the pregnancy or birth other than being induced to start labor. Bryson weighed 8lbs 0oz. at birth. Bryson had adenoids and tonsils removed in 2015.

Bryson currently takes 3 mg of Intuniv, 10mg of Paxil, 5mg of Lamotrigue, and 10 mg of Melatonin at night. Bryson is followed by a Psychiatrist every three …show more content…
Most of the time during the handwriting test Bryson rested his head on his left hand. Bryson showed a few behaviors that are consistent with students that have weakness in their postural stability.
1. He tended to write very fast. Students who have poor stability in their shoulder muscles and/or postural muscles will tend to complete tasks with poor control or quickly. This is due to the fact that in order to have slow controlled movement requires more postural stability and control of muscles.
2. Bryson shrugged his shoulders during some activities. This denotes a weakness in co-contraction of the shoulder girdle muscles leading to overall weakness in arm use. This can affect a person’s ability to lift, pull, and push weighty objects.
3. Bryson tended to flex his body forward during handwriting tasks. He would lean his chest against the table, lean his head on his left hand, and he lost postural control quickly with some fine motor tasks. This tells the examiner that Bryson has difficulty using his postural muscles when he has to perform more difficult fine motor
