Student Information:

Demographics:
Student: D. McStuffin
Date of Birth: December 14, 2006
Grade: 3rd
Parents: Mr. and Mrs. McStuffins

D. McStuffin is an 8 year, one month old African American female. She is the oldest of two siblings and has a 6 year old brother. She resides in the home with her mother and father. Developmentally, she achieved her milestones (walking, talking, toileting) at a slower than usual pace. Mother reports she had a complicated delivery that resulted in a C-section delivery. D. McStuffin had an initial Apgar score of 6, but when retested 5 minutes later her Apgar increased to 7. There were no other complications reported.

However, D. McStuffin entered into a Project Find Early Intervention Program for developmentally delayed preschoolers. Mother reports that she attended this program 4 days a week for a half day. The program focused on speech and language development, as well as fine and gross motor development. Parents participated in a once a month language development experience field trip aimed at teaching parents how to enhance their child's developmental skills in the home or outside of the school environment.
