This work signifies my ability to understand cognitive development as well as working with children. Both necessary abilities for my desired field of work. It was required that I do this case study on a child that was not family, so as to make the study and results be real. This was done in my Education Psychology class, which had focused on understanding all the different types of development students can go through, as well as different teaching styles. All of which were meant to be exercised in this case study.
