Case Study

Trevor is a four-year-old male in a privately owned daycare. There are 15 students and two adults in this preschool room. Trevor has focusing and behavioral issues that cause the teacher to stop teaching and working with other children to keep him safe. He throws objects in the room, screams and hits other kids, and cries frequently. The owner of the daycare has received many complaints from parents who are threatening to move their kids to another daycare center. Trevor’s mother thinks that he is “all boy” and will grow out of this stage.
