Head Circumference

The link is for a head circumference chart from the CDC. To get an idea of how small Joseph's head is, looking at this chart is a good tool. At the 50th percentile, Joseph's head is the same size as your typical average 12 month old. Even at the 3rd percentile, Joseph's head size is still only the size of a 36 month old child (3 years old). That is the Microcephaly. We also see his skills academically are at about that same level as well, 36 months, thus the reason for the intensive one on one learning. Joseph does much better when it is visual, hands on and one on one. Not something you can find in most schools, and certainly none in our area.
