Dax's Case Study

Dax’s mother had a normal pregnancy with no complications listed, but he was born via c-section at 39 weeks. At only 2 and a half years Dax has had more than 5 year infections. Dax’s mother informed the clinician that Dax has had tubes put in his ears twice (4/2014 & 6/2015), and has recently had his adenoids removed (6/2015). His mother indicated he began using single words when he was 8 months and began combining words at 21 months, but that she noticed a delay around the time he was 1 year old. In addition to his parent’s concerns, his mother mentioned that his teachers at FUMC ECC were also concerned about his speech and language skills and recommended having him evaluated.
