Isabella shows a delayed psychomotor development. Her concentration is short but good. She shows a great interest in her surroundings, follows objects with her eyes. She grabs toys with her hands and puts them in her mouth. She can grab two objects and rotate them with her hands.
She recognizes the familiar people from strangers, and she reacts to her name. Her active speech is delayed – she doesn’t speak full sentences yet but she can say a simple words.  She actively participates in the group activities and also can initiate games by choosing some toys.  Motor skills are delayed – lack of age-appropriate skills, but she is learning every day.  She is very active and her behavior is described as high hyperactivity with anxiety.

Recent visit Feb.2026: Isabella is a very promising child. She has undergone cardiac surgery. It was not possible to test her hearing, but she functions normally. Despite her heart problems, she never had blue lips or excessive fatigue.

Her currently weight is 12 kg. She communicates verbally very well and is able to express her needs and emotions. She still uses diapers but she is in the potty training. She is a very active child, but not hyperactive. She functions well one-on-one. She has two favorite friends at the orphanage. She likes to play with other children and does not exhibit any aggressive behavior.
She is a picky eater, but she likes to try new flavors (she recently enjoyed olives). She sleeps throughout the night. She sometimes takes naps during the day. She likes to do puzzles (30 pieces) and “read” the books. She is a girl who likes to dress nicely and has a pretty hairstyle.
