Klent has no stranger anxiety he can talk to everyone. His mother note that he can led and
influenced by others and he can interact well with his same age level and that he often demonstrates
attention-seeking behaviour. Klent describes difficulties with focusing, and sitting still in class. He
recognizes that he is able to 'hyper focus' on some activities of interest, however he often has difficulty
sustaining his attention at school. His mother who are always by his side indicate that Klent is restless,
hyperactive and often requires reminders to help him stay on task both in school and in home. He is always
supervise by his mother in school because he is not focusing well. He has experienced difficulties with
school work completion, inattentiveness and distractibility, disorganization, impulsivity and mood

IV. Recommendations (Bullet Form)

 A child shall always supervise by his mother
 Reward and punishment shall implement by his parents
 If the symptoms became worst parents should sent their child to expert or doctor.

V. Provisional Case Assessment (Summary of your observation and what do you think is the case of
the child? 5-7 sentences)
After observing and interviewing a child physically capable has no sign of disability in his physical
appearance. Some of his developmental milestones his not met the appropriate progress which is a child at
this age are able to recognize written words and start a reading skills but Klent’s case wasn’t. In his
behavioral assessment he was inattentive, easily distracted and can’t focus in classroom activity the reason
why he can’t participate well in school, but he can interact with adults and his peers, his social life was
good and stable he can play with other children. My provisional case assessment is that Klent has a mild
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder due to this disorder he can’t perform well in school.

VI. Recommendations
 If possible a child shall receive an early intervention to prevent worsening.
 Discipline are necessary for the child by the parents.
 Teacher and parent’s collaboration are also required in this case for a child to meet his
educational needs.
