Santino was seen for session 7 of 7 with this Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) in the "middle" classroom. Santino appeared pleasant in demeanor and seemed to transition well between sessions as he exchanged photos successfully on his daily, visual schedule with both verbal and physical prompts by this SLP... Goals for the session included the following... 1. to engage in forming a relationship with Santino that includes regulation, and shared attention and interest 2. to enter into two-way, purposeful interactions with gestures and intentional communication 3. to determine highly motivating/favorable, cause and effect activities, so that Santino may develop a feeling of control and predict/anticipate what will happen next 4. to imitate predictable action sequences and communication patterns through cause and effect activities 5. to develop single-word requesting via eye-gaze, picture exchange and/or verbalization...Santino was greeted with the "Hello" Song as he engaged in gentle bouncing on the sensory ball with support at his hips. Eye contact was fleeting...Santino appeared regulated and showed interest in "Who Lives in This House?". He followed a one-step verbal direction successfully to sit in the chair. At the table, he participated for 20-minutes in the action sequence for 10 out of 10 attempts and requested items via gesture and eye gaze for 10 out of 10 attempts. Verbalizations to complete the communication pattern were noted for 3 out of 10 attempts. A walking sensory break followed for approximately 2- minutes, during which he selected and presented the maze activity from a bag of items belonging to Miss Christina. (It has been reported that Santino engages readily with this activity.) Attempts to redirect Santino to a planned cause and effect activity were accepted. The activity required use of a "mallet" to hit 3 balls. Once released, each slid down a series of 3 ramps. This activity did not prove to offer the right amount of challenge as it was quite easy for Santino to push each ball through the hole with his hand vs. hit each with the mallet...The session came to a close after 30-minutes due to the early release procedure planned for the storm. A quick wrap-up ensued as Santino removed the photo successfully on his daily, visual schedule with both verbal and physical prompts from this SLP. A brief version of the "Good-Bye" Song and a hug for Miss Sharon followed...Continue as planned...It was a pleasure to engage with Santino and to speak with Mom!
