Mateo is a toddler who was recently adopted by a Canadian couple. Before his adoption, Mateo spent his first 18 months in an overcrowded, understaffed overseas institution where he received minimal individual care and attention. His adoptive parents are anxious about how his early institutional experiences might affect his future development.
Using your knowledge of the effects of institutionalisation, advise Mateo's adoptive parents on what behaviours and developmental outcomes they might expect as Mateo grows up.
