Shaping of functional speech - increasing attention and focusing skills
Lesson Outline
Santino and I worked in the classroom on educational games and activities. He continued to work on sorting objects based on shape and color, but we also introduced and added food items as a separate category. Santino repeated a few words as I narrated and assisted him with hand-over-hand guidance and prompts. Next, we worked on a puzzle activity requiring matching skills. I helped Santino pair objects with their match, such as bird with a bird nest. Santino enjoyed working with the cards and assembling the matching pieces. He demonstrated very good perceptual skills, visual motor abilities and bi-lateral and eye-hand coordination. I narrated what he was performing and verbalized the objects he was pairing together. I then had him work on a tracing activity. Santino was able to trace what I had written on construction paper using a crayon; however, he needed a bit of verbal and physical prompts to remain focused and complete the task. We finished our work together playing musical videos that reinforced some of the words used repeatedly today. Santino repeated a few articles of clothing in a clear articulate voice. As he appeared a bit tired today, I chose not to include any outdoor activities on the visual communication board, and we spent our time together in the classroom. Santino was afforded verbal praise and high fives when he sat focused and engaged in activities for a sustained amount of time.
