CHILD PSYCHOLOGY CASE STUDY PROFILES: MIGUEL
Miguel Soto-Escobar
GENDER: Male, ETHNICITY: Hispanic, AGE: 13 years, GRADE: Junior High
Home Life
Miguel continues to live at home with his parents and three siblings. The family still has financial challenges, and his older brother and sister have taken part time jobs to help out with the finances. This means that Miguel is expected to help care for his little brother. The primary language in the household is still Spanish, but Miguel has been trying to teach his little brother and parents more English.
School Life
Miguel still has a slight speech impairment, which makes him reluctant to speak up in class. He doesn’t really stand out in the classroom, but he receives average to passing grades. Miguel has tried out and made the school soccer team, and he is very excited about playing. He’s made some friends on the soccer team, but he still isn’t real outgoing. He remains reserved and is still somewhat sensitive about his language deficits. Miguel’s biggest concern at the moment is trying to balance his extracurricular soccer activities with his parents’ expectation that he care for his younger brother while everyone else in the family works.
