Julie and Tim have been unable to have children. They are very excited when they find out they have been approved to adopt a child from an orphanage in a South American country. They gather their resources and fly to pick up their new son, Manuel. There is no medical history available. Manuel is about ten months old when they adopt him. They bring Manuel back to the United States. After a few weeks, Julie and Tim become concerned with Manuel’s behaviors and actions. They visit their primary care physician to determine what might be going on. Julie and Tim are anxious. Although they already love little Manuel, they were assured that the baby they were adopting was “normal” and did not have any kind of neurologic problem. The pediatrician has an MRI done, and there is no brain damage. Julie and Tim ask about a referral to early intervention. 1. At the time of adoption, Manuel is ten months old. As the counselor working with the family, what would be expected across all domains of a typically developing ten-month-old child?
