Lesson Outline
Christopher approached the main lobby area and peeked through the window in the door as I was engaged in conversation with Elise at the front desk. He smiled and "let me know that he was waiting" via his body language and eye gaze. It was not yet quite 8:50 and it was evident that he was eagerly anticipating the start of our session. Moments later as I approached his room he quickly opened the door and awaited my response to the line up of marvel characters that I had never before seen arranged on top of the cabinet in his room. This instantly afforded a wonderful opportunity to expand on the concepts of understanding your talking partner's perspective, and increasing sustained cycles of reciprocal exchange. Familiar supports to increase use of cohesive ties, and temporal links were provided, and were again highly facilitative. Topic shifting was rapid once more, and once again a strong focus of the session was in the area of "thinking about thinking," and recognizing your communication partners non verbal cues. Following the provision of supportive cues and discussion regarding "topic jumping" Christopher sweetly responded with animated gesture "Miss Lynne, I do have so many ideas going on in my mind." Strong scaffolding was provided as each topic was explored and subsequently supported to allow for stronger conveying of ideas within the topic and use of cohesion to allow for reciprocal exchange within the topic. Brain Gym cross pattering methodologies were embedded as well, and continue to be extremely facilitative.
