Santino was in good spirits today and very responsive to engaging with me during our time together. I began by having Santino sit in a prescribed area and used the massager to signal the start of a new activity and engage his attention and cooperation. This was followed with us using the Boogie Board (Play and Trace Writer). This has a clear colored screen, which allows for tracing activities using a pencil-like stylus with a pointed tip on one end, and a beveled tip on the other, for making both thin and thick lines. This option allows Santino to use whichever tip feels most comfortable and results in the most successful outcomes. We used it today to practice tracing letters and numbers and improve our fine motor skills and coordination. We then used some colorful putty with which to play hide-and-seek. Santino kneaded the putty until he found all 12 farm-themed pieces. I asked, "What sound does a horse make?" and made the sound of whichever animal was revealed after Santino discovered it. The different colors and shapes allow for visual and tactile exploration, color recognition, and serves to facilitate other language activities. We then used a sound machine, and I selected songs I know Santino enjoys. We skipped around the room and Santino was encouraged to mimic my movements and verbalizations. He was reinforced with high fives and enthusiastic words and responses, such as clapping, whenever he did so. Santino then pointed to a yogurt he wished to eat and I afforded him hand-over-hand feeding assistance to do so. We finished our session by using the massager again to signal the end of our session and relax before his departure time. Santino gave me a hug, without solicitation, and left with his mother, in a good mood and happily giggling.
