Adah's evaluation

So, here's the condensed version of Adah's three page evaluation...for inquiring minds.


Adah demonstrates Stationary Skills solid through 10 months. (16th percentile)

Adah demonstrates Locomotion Skills solid through 8 months. (1st percentile)

Adah demonstrates Object Manipulation solid through 12 months. (9th percentile)
(She couldn't be fully tested in this area as it required her to be independently standing)

Adah demonstrates gross motor skills at the 1st percentile for her age (lowest possible), roughly solid through 8 months. Adah demonstrates decreased tone throughout bilateral LEs. When standing, Adah alternates between locking her joints, using her ligaments for support, and increased flexation throughout knees and hips. When in supported standing, Adah demonstrates increased bilateral ankle pronation, seemingly hanging on her ligaments to maintain ankle stability. Adah demonstrates decreased postural control/strength as evidenced through her choice of sitting position (ring sit), decreased participation in coming to sit from the floor on her own, and leaning on supportive surfaces when in supported standing. It is recommended that Adah receive physical therapy services 1-2 times a week for 6 months to address gross motor skill acquisition, postural control, strengthening/endurance, balance/coordination for higher level skills, gait training, and monitoring for possible need of shoe inserts to give her a stable base of support.
