Update on Kavin (last semester)

Kavin started the semester, last semester seeming to be a little behind his peers. He could not count past 7 and needed help spelling and writing his name. Kavin's handwriting has improved immensely. It is much less of a struggle to get him to go to the writing center. He is beginning to enjoy writing and creating words. I think that is because he is finally developmentally ready. He was always on target with his gross motor skills, he just struggled with fine motor skills. He has improved a lot but still struggles a bit. He continues to struggle with his social skills and using a "baby voice". He has become a much more vocal child. He is able to compare and contrast things and does a wonderful job answering questions and figuring out situations. When it comes to blocks, Kavin is a genius. He is so creative. He does not enjoy drawing or participating in art activities. I think that he has a fear of doing things wrong. He does a wonderful job with puzzles and creating different pictures. His counting and number skills have improved immensely. He can now count into the double digits. Kavin has developed immensely since the beginning of the year. It will be interesting to see how he changes throughout the next few weeks.
