Heading: The Four Months Before C.M. Enrolled in First

Text: Grade in the Summit Public School District From his infancy through kindergarten, C.M. attended day care full-time. He met his developmental milestones, and the day care described his participation and adjustment to kindergarten as good and his behavior as fairly typical. But toward the end of kindergarten, in May 2015, he began to have 3 meltdowns at day care. The day care staff could not manage C.M.’s behavior, and they asked his parents to remove him from the day care, which his parents did. Prompted by concerns over his behavior (but not his academic performance), C.M.’s parents retained Dr. Carolyn McGuffog, a clinical psychologist and school neuropsychologist, to evaluate C.M. In July and August of 2015, Dr. McGuffog administered sixteen neuropsychological tests to C.M. over the course of four days.
