Santino began the session working on a pattern activity. I showed him a repetitive pattern of three shapes, consisting of circles, triangles, and squares and we established a rhythmic pattern identifying, verbalizing, and pointing to the shapes on the blackboard. I then omitted one of the shapes to see if Santino would be able to state or identify the shape that was next in the pattern. Santino was shown what was expected via modelling techniques. Although he required prompts to initiate the desired pointing response, I observed him looking at the correct shape and reinforced this eye contact with high fives and verbal praise. After working on this activity for about 10 minutes, I allowed Santino to move freely about the room and encouraged him to imitate my movements and actions (clapping, skipping, and hopping). Santino seemed to enjoy this activity as evidenced by giggling and increased sing-song vocalizations. I narrated our actions and the movements demonstrated throughout this activity, and Santino was reinforced for evidence of verbal mimicry in order to establish a causal connection between the relationships and actions demonstrated and speech. Santino then gave me his bottle and he drank the PediaSure vanilla shake I poured into it. I afforded him hand-over-hand as I twisted off the cap, in efforts to foster more independent behavior via shaping and task analysis. He enjoyed listening to and watching some nursery rhymes and songs as he drank his bottle. Santino assisted in clean up when prompted and in putting on his socks and sneakers, which he had removed while drinking, and he left with Ms. Ingrid in good spirits.
