After reciprocating my greeting with a hugging embrace, Santino was amenable to sitting at the table in the classroom and working on academic activities. We worked on touching and tracing letters, using our fingers to feel the rough surface of the letter and following the directional arrows that demonstrated how to write it. The letters were rough to the touch, made out of a sandpaper type of material, so it involved and engaged Santino’s tactile sense, in addition to his visual sense, which helps reinforce and consolidate his learning. Santino allowed me to guide his fingers and trace the letters. He then traced a few letters independent of prompts as I verbally identified the letters and named some words that started with it. We then traced letters using a magnetized wand, which lifted little metal balls, forming the shape of letters, in a grid upon touch. One side of the wand lifted the balls to form the letter, while the other made them disappear. This activity kept Santino well engaged and motivated. We finished up with a matching activity requiring that Santino assemble puzzles and match items (e.g., boots/umbrella; bed/pillow; basketball/hoop). Santino carefully looked at the puzzle pieces before putting them together; he appeared to understand what was expected of him and found matching pairs. Although Santino required initial prompts to perform this task, he made a good effort to continue on his own when the prompts were gradually faded. I gave Santino verbal praise and high fives for performing well on today’s tasks and activities, especially when he sustained attention to the task at hand with minimal prompts.
