Upon arrival to Ben's room, he was actively engaged in viewing items of interest on his laptop.
Social greet was happily verbal, however, body language was inconsistent with the verbal as he remained facing his laptop. This afforded an excellent opportunity to indirectly discuss the "perception of a communication partner" based on body language, gestures and visual referencing. Ben engaged rapidly and shared 3 poignant observations regarding social greetings.
Focus of the session expanded into the dynamics of perspective taking within reciprocal language activities highlighting use of expanded descriptive concepts, varied semantic categories, and associative concepts. Ben expressed strong enjoyment, and actively participated. Use of embedded cross pattern sequences adapted from Brain Gym, Handle, and RMT continues to be a strong component within sessions as well.
