As per his one to one para, Child N gets over simulated by opening and closing doors. He would pull the door open run out then run back inside the classroom stare at the door as it closes and begin to jump up and down flaring his arms, with an excited grin on his face. His upper extremity strength in his larger muscles is improving according to the occupational therapist. Child N never seems to get tired from running around. He is also stimulated by climbing and hanging. He displays difficulty with self-regulation throughout the day and due to how quickly he moves he requires close supervision so he does not wander away. While transitioning up and down the stairs, I observed that he is able to alternate feet step over step. He can hang from…

I observed my cousin grow from the period when she was an infant. From birth to three years she was able to use sucking and grasping reflexes. Could slightly raise her head when lying on her stomach, with support she could also raise her head for a few seconds. Additionally, her hands were always clenched into fist and could repeat body movements. From three to six years she could roll over, pull her body forward, and reach to grasp objects. She could also shake and play with objects that were given o her such as toys. At between six to nine months the baby became very mobile and could crawl, grasp and pull object toward her body as well as comfortably exchange toys from one of her hand to the other. At nine to twelve months she not only stood but also walked, stood unassisted and without assistance and could as well roll a ball. At the age of one year she was more independent in terms of balance and eye coordination, she could walk backwards, scribble, sway to music, turn door handles and knobs as well as pick things while standing up. At two to three years she was well formed and could kick the ball, draw a circle, turn pages and also jump. At her third to fourth year she had well formed physical abilities. The fact that there were other children in the neighborhood slightly head of her in age made her motor development fast. While maturity is a developmental…

While observing a 20 month old girl, it was evident that she was able to move her body to the music that was playing with the activity that focused on being different animals. For example, she flapped her arms up and down to symbolize that she was a bird. She began to "fly" faster when the music became faster as well. One strength that was evident was her involvement within the group with other children. While she was hopping like…
