Lesson Outline
Santino immediately took my hand upon first seeing me enter the classroom today. He led me to his book bag, which I unzipped and took out his food and drink options, narrating everything that I was doing as I was doing it. Santino took out the pudding and I opened it and offered him the spoon to see if he would attempt to feed himself. When he didn’t, I offered him help with feeding, and he allowed me to offer him hand-over-hand assistance to help him hold the spoon and direct it to his mouth. Santino thrust his head backwards upon feeling the spook enter his mouth in a more exaggerated fashion than I have seen him do before. This necessitated smaller spoonfuls of the yogurt so as to minimize the spillage that occurred whenever he pulled away. However, Santino was hungry and did not refuse more to eat when offered. When the OT arrived, she mentioned that she would like to try to see how he eats, as he had never done so for her before, so I left her the few remaining spoonfuls of yogurt and pointed out the other pack should he indicate he wanted more. We finished up by putting pieces back to a farm puzzle we had begun and singing the “Old MacDonald” song, pointing out the animals that were mentioned in the song and prompting Santino to put them in their proper space. He was reinforced for repeating the animals’ names or for closely approximating the word or sound it makes. Santino was instructed to sit back down on the mat and remove his shoes and socks to prepare for his session with the OT. He did so with minimal prompts (gently tapping his shoe and asking him to take off his shoes and socks). He made fleeting eye contact when I called his name to say and wave goodbye.
