Behaviour Observation
During the observation session, the patient exhibited several
notable behaviors. They were frequently seen smiling, which
indicated a positive mood. Additionally, they were well-dressed,
showing attention to their appearance.

However, it was observed that the patient struggled with

maintaining eye contact. They appeared to have difficulty
focusing on tasks or conversations, exhibiting a lack of sustained
attention. Their speech patterns varied, with moments of slow
speech and other times speaking loudly.

Although the patient showed interest in their surroundings,

active participation seemed to be a challenge for them. This
could indicate difficulties with engagement or communication.

Overall, these observations suggest potential areas of concern

related to attention, focus, and social interaction. Further
assessment and evaluation may be necessary to gain a deeper
understanding of the patient’s needs and to develop
appropriate interventions.
