The case of Katlego You, as a member of the school-based support team
(SBST), peruse a class teacher’s observation notes on a learner. The learner,
Katlego, has to repeat Grade 1. He is an only child and both his parents are
successful professionals. When Katlego’s teacher raised concerns about his
lack of progress, his parents appointed an au pair to assist with his care and
homework. However, the teacher is still concerned and discusses her
observations with you. She wrote the following:
• He is well groomed.
• His drawings are exceptional.
• Sudden disturbed muscular control or awkwardness or clumsiness and a
lack of co-ordination, which do not correlate with his usual actions. He
stumbles or bumps into things or drops them.
• He sometimes inexplicably feels strange in an environment which should be
familiar to him; for example, he cannot open a door which he is usually able
to open (he turns the handle the wrong way).
• Associated movements e.g. if he is busy drawing, his tongue makes strange
accompanying movements as well. Or if one hand is moving, the other hand
also makes the same movements. 20
• Achievements fluctuate – especially an inconsistent memory. What he knows
one day, he forgets the next and the day after he suddenly remembers again.
