On Her Behavior...

Although Bailey's behavior was generally appropriate for her developmental level, it could sometimes be problematic.  She was sometimes physically aggressive, especially with her younger brother Brody.  This behavior had occasionally been noted in the classroom as well.  She had also been known to scratch/injure herself.  Those working with her should do their best to distract her attention and/or remover her form the situation as necessary.  This examiner observed that Bailey would sometimes turn away and lie down in order to avoid an activity, even kicking gently as if to mildly protest.  When this type of behavior occurs, staff should try to reengage her in the activity after waiting for a few minutes.  If overt resistance continues, a different activity should be tried
