Adaptive Skills: Self-care: Fraidy D. is not a picky eater, eating most foods and textures. She doesn’t use the side of a fork to cut her food since she usually uses a plastic knife instead.

She chooses clothing that she likes or desires to wear but it isn’t necessarily inclined to the weather but can be appropriate for the occasion. This can be due to the fact, that she has a uniform to wear to school but the mom…

Denver, Colorado; hence it’s name. It screens a child for cognitive delays and behavioral problems from birth to 6 years of age. The sooner the delay is picked up the sooner the child can get appropriate treatment that can help develop the necessary skills to cope with the delay. A patient’s performance with a given task is compared against their age group distribution scale that reflects the percentage of a certain age group that can perform the…

Children in the middle childhood become more independent but still need some supervision. At this time children are known as concrete-operational according to Paiget’s theory (Rathus, 2011, p. 346). In this stage children are beginning to become more logically skilled. They begin to logic and concrete information. Along with the development of logic, they also begin to develop an understanding of others around them. They become less egocentric. Although they have developed logical thinking they…

1. What are ALL of the toys the infant / child is interested in? Name at least three different toys. What are the fine motor requirements for playing with one of these toys? Be comprehensive when you describe the fine motor requirements (symmetry, posture, muscle work, range, coordination, type of grasp) i.e. not simply examining motor control of the digits (4 points) (Wisconsin Child Welfare Training System, 2006) The infant was playing with a variety of toys but he particularly was…
