Observation Dariya
The session was carried out in the Khmer language, the child made good eye contact with
therapists inside the room. While playing with the toys, she demonstrated joint attention
and functional play. She also imitated the word “dog” and said “Eat rice” in Khmer even
though it was not accurate.
A w-sitting pattern was observed during the session, and she was drooling a lot. Dariya
could not respond to her name when the therapist called her, she could not greet her
although her grandma already prompted her. Her attention span was very short, and she
moved from one activity to another activity without completing it. She was unable to follow
simple instructions. The session could not finish within the expected time because she was
whining when she can’t get what she wanted. She appeared to have low muscle tone when
she cried because she couldn’t get up on her own.
