Meet lovely Maeve.

Born July 2013, this precious little one just turned three. She came into care at the SWI when she was 11 months old and at the time, her development was delayed. She couldn’t sit without support.

She made progress at the SWI, though, and according to her file she was sitting without support and playing by 18 months of age. At the time of her file preparation, she was able to walk without assistance.

Her motor skills were formerly behind other children but now she can walk well, go up stairs with some assistance and climb in and out of her friends cribs to play. Her cognitive development is slightly behind, but she is saying single words like “dad” and “sister”. She’s an outgoing little girl who is nearly always smiling. She likes balls that are yellow.

Her caregivers say she recognizes people and remembers pictures she has seen. She’s curious about new people but sticks close to familiar care givers. They say she can play simple imagination games like clapping hands or rocking dolls.

Maeve’s official diagnosis is epilepsy. Her file contains her EEG report, which notes abnormality. She has had two seizures since she came into care, her last one being in May of 2015. She has not been taking any medication. Her file also contains an immunization report and some other labs, as well as a growth chart.
