He liked to stare at people and was able to grasp a toy with his hand. At 18 months he could roll over freely and liked to sit in a chair and watch children playing around him, following them around with his eyes.

Adam was said to be shy and quiet and fond of listening to music and playing games.

He liked to play with other children and be with adults, and liked to play in the classroom.

He could stack 2-3 blocks and his intelligence was said to be behind his peers. He wasn’t speaking yet, only babbling, but could understand simple one-step commands and understood what “yes” and “no” meant. He couldn’t yet point out body parts and preferred familiar caretakers. When Adam was sad he could be comforted with hugs. He liked playing with rattles, cars and plush toys, and was no longer receiving rehabilitation treatment.
