CLIENT ’ S DATA Clients designation (no fullname): SI, NA, SD, JL, SM, OC. Age: Ranges from 5 years to 7 years Gender: M / F Issue(s) presentation: Most of the children that attend Secunda Christian Academy (SCA) come from previously disadvantage homes. As a result at home the focus is not always on development. Stimulation in terms of perceptual skills and scholastic abilities are often compromised. The children are often ill-prepared for the demands of school. In general the children in SCA perform well in the lower grades but start to fail from grade 4 onwards because of their unstable developmental foundation. The children struggle to cope with the demands of the higher grades and find it challenging to work independently.
HISTORY (MEDICAL HISTORY, ETC.) All the children that participated in the Tomatis® program were well nourished and in good health. No history of developmental delays, existing emotional problems or any other medical conditions were reported. None of the children have received any form of Occupational therapy or Sound therapy prior to the program
