Case Study
My case study is about a little boy and his name is Bowen. My observation of him is in the preschool setting where he attends school. He is in a class with twenty other children and has one teacher and a teacher’s aide. It is a very hands on classroom since the children in this class are younger they do more things to keep the children’s attention. They do a math paper, which is called Kumon. Kumon is a math program that starts at an early age. It helps develop both high level of academic ability and the ability to learn independently. At a preschool age, it is mainly being able to count dots. Once you achieve that goal as a student, you will start adding and then so on.

Developmental milestone checklists are used as a guide as to what is ‘normal’ for a particular age range and can be used to highlight any areas in which a child might be delayed. The first developmental milestone that I looked into was Language. Language milestones have to do with voice, speech and language. Bowen has a very soft voice and had his tonsils taken out about a month ago so sometimes it is hard to hear or understand him but I am noticing improvement. Bowen was able to tell me his name and age and speak up to 250 words (this was just me estimating). He can speak in sentences up to 4-5 words and can tell me stories with his big imagination. Next, I looked into cognitive milestones. According to study.com, cognitive milestones refer to the child’s developmental abilities to think, learn, and solve problems. I asked a series of questions such as;
