As Santino has been particularly receptive and responsive to music and sound of late, he was reinforced for reproducing several melodies and a few phrases after hearing me produce or repeat them. He was in good spirits and giggled and laughed frequently. I had him trace over his name on paper with a marker, which he was able to do when afforded physical prompts. He enjoyed manipulating the visual sensory pad next, and listened as I narrated the objects as they appeared on the surface. Santino has been more responsive to other students who attempt to interact with him and returned a hug and high five given to him. He spent several minutes at the sink practicing dispensing soap from the dispenser; as two hands are required, he as yet needs a bit of guidance to push with one hand while holding the other underneath to catch the soap, but he initiated the correct movements today and enjoyed making bubbles with the soap. He also has been doing a better job cleaning his hands and has been making a better effort drying his hands correctly with a paper towel. While at the sink, he repeated a few phrases sung to him, and this appears to be an effective technique by which to elicit and reinforce speech. Santino continues to be responsive to tactile stimulation. He enjoys getting his back rubbed, and he will take one's hand and place it on his back when he wants to be massaged and will do so repeatedly to indicate that he wishes the stimulation to continue. He has been making more contact with others overall and made gains in sustaining eye contact. Overall, Santino appears familiar and comfortable at the school and his routine, and he continues to warm the hearts of those who meet him.
