Now is the time to develop the treatment protocol. The team needs to read the following case history that has been prepared for you. The team can then take some time to summarize the signs and symptoms that baby McDonald have had sense birth.

Each member in your team needs to pick an expert area. The experts will investigate information with an expert team. The expert groups will organize and summarize the information. They will then produce a graphic organizer with facts and opposing views. The team will defend their information in a mini – meeting with the teacher. This information will be brought back to your team for discussion to contribute to the development of a diagnosis and recommendation of treatment.

All team members will collect background information in their expert area and bring it back to the group. The expert will then present the information while the other 3 students take notes which will be evaluated by the supervisor (teacher). The group as a whole should collect and organize the information, establish a diagnosis, provide background and general information and treatment plan. The treatment plan will be delivered to the President and the Cabinet (teacher and class). 

Resources and questions to think about are provided for each team member. This should aide the expert in gathering information and the group with coming up with a diagnosis and treatment plan.
