But, this is not directly related to the kind of natal delivery of his mother because he was delivered normal.
III. Developmental Evaluation:
Gross/Fine Motor Skills
Jaekob’s height is slight normal to his age. However, he was skinny. Despite his condition, he manages to play actively with his classmates. During the observation, he plays actively. He participates well during their warm ups. He executes warm-up exercises containing head rotation, arm stretching and waist rotation .He even jokes with us to do pushups. Surprisingly, he can do it twice or thrice. He can also run fast. He can jump and climb benches. He can balance well on the bench. He can also ride bicycle. This only shows that he had a good balance. Despite his being active, he easily gets tired. When we were playing, he loses interest to win because he said he was becoming tired. Thus, he minimized his participation and end up losing the game. In the preceding games, he was just sitting and prefers watching his classmates play the remaining games.
However, he also enjoys arts. He prefers to draw and do art activities than playing tiresome games. He holds the dynamic tripod grip and observes left-to-right orientation when writing. He draws well. He crumples and tears when he doesn’t want his work. He traces, copies and draws shapes and figures but not perfect .The pictures and things he had drawn are perceivable. His enthusiasm in this craft is also seen. He had a wide imagination on the things he is going to draw. however, his work end up being messy because he drew Plants Vs Zombies where he tried to eliminate the zombies he had drawn by drawing bombs and erasing what he had recently drawn. However, he could not write legibly. His letters are not proportion to each other especially when the paper is not lined with red and blue. He is also slow in shooting the yarn into small holes.
Daily Living Skills
Jaekob performs activities for daily living skills. He eats neatly. He said he is not being spoon-fed by others. However, he cannot take a bath on his own. Maybe, due to the fact that he is the youngest sibling and he lives with his grandparents and other relative, there is a tendency that he will be dependent of them. But there are some things that he can do on his own such as brushing teeth. Whenever he feels to urinate, he can go to the comfort room to urinate and does not wet his pants. Other hygiene such as cutting his nails are also done by his auntie as he said.
Play and Social Interaction
Jaekob is approachable. His friends in school are Dylan, Ryen and Mark Angelo. When someone talks to him, he responds immediately. When he is being asked to play, he eagerly joins their game. He always plays with Aljon, Efraim and Ryen. He deals well with his classmates interacting with them. However, because he easily gets tired, sometimes, he prefers to be just sitting instead of joining the games. Sometimes, he felt isolated but if he is approached and encouraged to join, he responds positively. Among the other students observed he behaves well and listens to the instruction. When formed in line, he is always at the end of the line.
Community Management
When Jaekob encounters unknown people, he is not snobbish, he answers peoples’ question but somehow with impolite expression. But when he feels comfortable with them, he is approachable. When he is asked questions, he answers politely and uses “po” and “opo”. However, if he is asked questions that he could not answer, he says “ewan ko” impolitely. He also had no friends at his age at home but he also interact with other people aside from his family at home. He is somehow weak in socializing with others because as he had said, he most prefers watching TV at home rather than playing outside. He follows simple direction such as “fall in line”, and “keep quiet”.
Work Behavior
Jaekob is very enthusiastic when he does some things. He works hard and finishes his work. When they are drawing, he and Aljon are the ones yet unfinished but he is still enjoying drawing. He does not care if he is the only one left. The same happened when they are doing an activity on shooting yarn on small holes. Because he is slow on shooting the yarn into the small holes, he is one of the pupils who were unfinished yet. Whenever he finds it difficult, he asks us for guidance on what to do. However, when he is bullied and taunted by his classmate, he answers back and does not cry.
Sensory Processing
Jaekob’s senses are well-developed. He can use his sense of sight. He knows how to distinguish and discriminate color of one thing to another such as blue green yellow red. It is visible when he is drawing. He also distinguishes odors such as fowl and sweet odors. He knows which things are rough and smooth. He can obviously hear sounds. All of his senses are working well. Through his senses, he is able to color things, distinguish the difference of one from the other, thus, he is able to acquire information but at the minimal possibility because he is not in focus always.
IV. Assessment Plan
During the phase of evaluation, the following are the means used and administered:
· Child interview
· Informal skills observation
· Survey/checklist answered by the parents
· Activities in the seven areas/skills
Based on the tools administered and the evident skills he excelled and on the areas he is fair, the following are some of the assessment activities appropriate for Jaekob:
· Practicing shoe-lacing (shooting shoelace in the hole, doing criss-cross pattern, tying)
· Writing letters and numbers following correct stroke
· Writing letters following the blue-red-blue lines
· Performing obstacle course activities involving walking running, jumping, skipping bending on one foot, galloping, skipping and balancing

· Coloring figures and shapes within borders without excess
· Pointing colors found in the environment
V. Recommendation/ Comments
He does fairly well in performing the skills in fine and gross motor skills. He does well in executing simple tasks by following demonstration. However, he more training and attention on self-help skills and play and interaction skills. Jaekob has some things to be developed but this does not mean that he had been left out and matures slowly. He is active and his social interaction is good but his physical condition hinders him from being an achiever. He is usually bullied by other such as Sean but he fights back. Maybe, the teacher should monitor him from such situation to prevent him to become low achiever.
