Michael also understands when his actions re disruptive and knows when to make
corrections to his behavior, Michael does not always seem to ave tohave a great memory,
especially when it comes to retaining information that was recently presented fo him. “School

“Michae! is very social and enjoys interacting with his classmates when it doesnot have to
do with schoolwork. The child becomes quiet and a bit of recluse when it comes time to
doing schoolwork, especially when working in groups that require answering any type of
questions. “School Aged, Social: Begin understanding suvial ves; regards dhem as
inflexible; ean adapt behavior to fit different situations; practices social oles” (Riverview
