Case Studies

Child DA is 8 years old. At the beginning of the week he was reserved, hesitant and lacking in confidence. He would avoid eye contact with both sessional workers and his peers. He was very cautious in taking part in the ice breaker which required him to use actions to spell out his name, after a lot of encouragement and support from the sessional workers he participated in the activity. During the course of the week child DA was slowly beginning to show positive improvements in his social skills. He began to raise his hand to answer questions and offer his opinion in discussions during the workshops. For example, during the British Values and British landmarks workshop he was able to interact with his peer as he was secure in his knowledge within this topic. This then slowly encouraged him further to interact with his peers not only within the classroom but also during free play. During free play he joined his group to play football whereas at the beginning he was playing basketball alone and unwilling to join the football matches. By the end of the week, child DA was confident enough to play with every child within his group. On the last day child DA was playing table tennis and board games with his classmates, he was even brave enough to explain the rules of the games to his peers. He also took initiative to ask for his choice of snack. By attending this club child DA has become more self-assured and positive and gained valuable social skills.
