NAME: Gerard
AGE: Three years, seven months
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Gerard enrolled in Head Start at the beginning of this program year. Gerard lives at home with both of his biological parents and a cousin (adult male). He has two older sisters who attend the neighborhood parochial school, and a 3-month-old baby brother. Gerard's father works as a taxi driver and his mother is at home full-time. Gerard speaks French Creole at home with friends and family members. His parents describe him as a happy and friendly boy. They report that he likes to play with his sisters and a cousin who also attends Head Start. Gerard's teacher says that he enjoys "make-believe games and playing in the dress-up area. In the classroom he seems to want to socialize with other children. However, since he has trouble communicating in English he sometimes ends up in fights.
Gerard was evaluated at the East End Medical Center where he was found to have significant delays in fine motor skills. His gross motor skills, though not significantly delayed, are of poor quality, with very mild muscle weakness contributing to problems with speed and coordination. His parents report that at home he needs help going up and down the stairs, and getting dressed or undressed. He often falls when playing. Gerard's pediatrician has suggested that he may be hyperactive although this has not been officially diagnosed.
