Fiona is a 5-year-old child who has visual-motor perceptual difficulties. Visual processing disorders are lifelong conditions. In contrast, a student will not simply outgrow a visual processing difficulty. She was admitted to the Hope for Life Foundation in May 2023… In the beginning, Fiona faced many difficulties; except for the daycare routine, her behavior was disrupted. She is not able to follow classroom rules and routines. She does not understand the one-to-one therapist’s command. She throws classroom equipment and hits classmates.
Sometimes she shows aggressive behavior towards classmates. She has poor eye contact when talking to others she faces difficulty initiating small talk. Fiona faces difficulty in completing puzzles and building three-dimensional structures. She faces difficulty in academics, and identifying things she struggles with, attending, understanding, and responding appropriately to information from others. After a span of 8 months with regular daycare and one-to-one therapy sessions with Fiona, we have now seen a significant positive change in her behavior. A big achievement, Fiona shifted to a normal, inclusive school
Her academic performance has grown day by day. Fiona has now become a command and instructions child and enjoys all the one-to-one and daycare activities. Fiona comes to the daycare in a happy and euthymic mood most of the time. She would greet the educators and therapists with a smile. She was happy to see toys and explored many. Fiona maintained eye contact with the therapist and looked for the therapist’s hand movements to follow what she said and wait for the reinforcement. Fiona identifies many things in the environment and writes her name. Now, she is completing 16 puzzles. She enjoys assembly time and rhyming, even though she shows interest in other students and enjoys every simple movement loves to attend day care and one-to-one therapy punctuality
