We used Mr. Potato Head to point to and name parts of the body. Santino needed physical prompts and refocusing techniques to engage and sustain his attention to this task. As today was an overcast, cooler day, we went outdoors for 15 minutes. I sprayed insect repellent on Santino and he helped water some plants in the garden. However, he was more interested in an exercise ball, so we practiced some gross motor skills and activities such as forward rolls and somersaults on it. Santino did not demonstrate much interest in utilizing the playground equipment, so we went back indoors and I gave him a drink. As soon as Santino came indoors, the classroom area seems to cue him to take off his shoes and socks. He began yawning a lot and lay down on the carpet, self-vocalizing and resting as I read him a story. Every so often, Santino repeated a word he heard, but these were arbitrary and random and not in response to verbal prompts that were given to him. After a few minutes, I attempted to work on an activity involving touching and tracing letter cards using a set of 26 kinesthetic-tactile alphabet cards. This is a useful tactile tool through which to help him learn the shapes of letters by allowing him to see, hear, and do. It is especially beneficial for Santino as he appears so responsive to the involvement and interplay of his senses. The directional arrows also allow for successful writing motions by allowing him to trace the indentations in the cards with his fingers. Additionally, using the cards also helps to establish left-to-right and top-to-bottom directional awareness. Today, however, Santino required moderate physical prompts to remain focused and successfully trace the letters in accordance to expectations. As he appeared tired, and yawned repeatedly while working with me, I allowed him to listen to some of his favorite nursery rhymes and music while encouraging him to sing along and repeat the names of the animals - reinforcing him when he did so. He frequently repeated the phrase, "Ready, steady go" and did so most often when I initiated an activity or said, "Okay, let's go!" As was done yesterday, I played Chopsticks on the keyboard and paired the syllables of Santino's name to the chords. Every so often I would leave off a syllable hoping that he would fill in the empty beat by adding in a syllable of his name. However, as this technique was only first introduced yesterday, it will require more practice and repetition before satisfactory results may be expected.
