A child оf seven, Michаel is brоught in fоr аn evаluation. His grandmother, who is raising the child, states, “Mikey is a sweet boy, but he is not very smart. He has never been good at school, even though he likes to go. He still has trouble with his numbers and letters. I have had him up to the school for tutoring, but he just doesn’t seem as smart as Allie or Karrie. Allie is five and she can write her name and knows so much more than Mikey. Karrie is three and can sing the numbers and the letter. I am worried about him.” Michael’s teachers indicate that he has academic difficulty. Michael is a short and slightly overweight child who has problems with reasoning, problem solving, and academic tasks. His progress in mathematics, reading, writing, and understanding time and money issues is limited. He lags behind his peers in all academic skills, reading slowly and poorly and having difficulty with arithmetic calculations. Although generally a gentle child he becomes aggressive and strikes out when he is teased or frustrated by tasks that he cannot accomplish. Accepted by most of the class, a few peers sometimes pick on the child. Michael has delayed mental and social development. He has some friends in his neighborhood and at school and is friendly and sweet, but some of his friends take advantage of him. Early in the year, an older boy coerced him into giving him sweets and his lunch money until another child informed the teacher. The boy is eager to make friends and is unaware that some “friends” will take advantage of him. He is becoming more self-sufficient; he keeps clean if his grandmother mother assists him. She still checks his teeth brushing, bathing and toileting. He sometimes has accidents if he is too focused on a task and needs help cleaning himself. It was a struggle to get him there, but he has learned many important self-care behaviors. At school he is monitored by his teacher. He has learned to do simple chores, taking out the garbage, putting water in the dog’s bowl, even walking the dog with supervision and takes pride in his accomplishments. Michael needs assistance in many areas of life but tries hard to learn skills and be independent. You diagnose what?
