Student’s Name Institution Course Date Jimmy’s problems may be perceived to be resulting from his social nature. Being able to interact freely with different individuals in his place would be the result if him knowing that he had been adopted to his ‘new parents’. It’s being stated that Jimmy’s behavior changes from time to time and his speech at times is prosody meaning that he is at times stressed which is furthermore explained by his physical appearances and the facial features (Gunnar 2007). This is clear indication that something has been disturbing him in his mind though unable to question. The interaction with the people might have made him know that he had been adopted by the parents he is currently staying with though he finds it difficult to question.The random anxiety and temper tantrums might be as a result of being in the mix of stress and being time.

Order Description:
Jimmy is a three year old boy who displays an excessive amount of socially-directed behavior. His adoptive parents are concerned that he is always approaching strangers when outside. His language is extremely well developed, but can have some odd prosody, and he seems to have some difficulty with understanding the meaning of hat people are saying to him. There are some areas of intellectual difficulty, but these are not widespread, and he sometimes displays signs of anxiety and temper tantrums. Jimmy also seems to have some physical problems with distinctive facial features. ¬ What would be your brief preliminary formulation of Jimmy’s problems? ¬ What are the key behaviours that require intervention? ¬ What strategies would you employ in order to gain information to enable you to develop and confirm the factors maintaining these problem behaviours? ¬ Drawing on the published evidence, outline the steps in an intervention programme and the strategies that could be used to help.
