Case Study Example by Emily Burdett https://padlet.com/uonpsych1/txtogrd5tkgj26fz Li is in Year 3. She is having difficulty in all her subjects and has experienced similar problems since Year 1. Her parents have provided her with tutoring and work with her in the evenings, but she cannot seem to keep up. She sometimes appears to daydream and does not seem to hear when addressed. Li is very small for her age and was born prematurely. en-us 2025-02-02 21:26:19 UTC 2025-02-03 15:24:30 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/uonpsych1/txtogrd5tkgj26fz/wish/3313803318 unstructured interviews, observation of her interactions
