David's communication skills are very

words in his home language during
play however can say "yes" and "no"

listen to simple instruction on his own
terms. David can understand
instructions such as "get your coat."
"can you find the.." "Go to the toilet."
David's social skills are developing
and he will happily engage with
peers with a familiar activity for short
periods of time. David has built
relationships with his peers and the
key workers within the room. David
will follow some of his friends around
the pre school classroom and join in
with activities and play once another
child has created a game or shown
interest in something. David will
choose his own activity on his own
terms.
David is a very active little boy and
loves being outside where he can run
and explore the outdoor areas, he
shows interest in throwing, kicking and
sharing the ball between himself and
his friends, David will walk across the
benches balancing himself and
stepping over the gap to get to the
other one and then will jump off when
he reaches the end. David can
independently feed himself using a
fork and spoon and serve his own
food during meal times. David is
beginning to use one-handed tools
and equipment e.g. scissors, pencils,
pens. David is beginning to show a
preference for dominant hand using
his right hand but will hold the pencil
in a palmer grasp to develop
manipulation and control.
