Session commenced once again with strong social reference upon greet, and successful reference to the visual schedule in order to initiate the transition. Santino reached for my extended hand, and the "walking song" facilitated additional reference as we approached his room. He placed his backpack on the pillow following a single presentation of the directive. He quickly scanned the pictured choices of activities on the strip containing 8 options. He consistently removed the picture of the desired activity and reached to place it in my hand 15 times this session, across 2 familiar tasks and 2 novel tasks . An item randomly fell onto the floor adjacent to the bag of materials. Upon retrieving it, he spotted an item of interest in the bag, began to reach for it, refrained, and quickly glanced at the picture strip of choices. Unable to "find " it, he reached for the zip loc bag on the table containing many additional pictures. Together we located the picture, he quickly handed it to me in order to indicate his request, paired with brief social reference. Opportunity to request specific color choices within activities was again presented. He successfully requested specific color 6/6 x in a series of 3 paired with verbalization 15/18 opportunities. He subsequently initiated color choice specificity within the novel task as well. New reciprocal exchange activity allowed for collaborative tower building, allowance for wait time, and increased social referencing across a 10 cycle exchange for 3 cycles. Use of absurdity continues to be a valuable tool, allowing for increased social reference, and indication of intent within personal choice yes/no question forms, and to "repair" "silly" instances of mishap in play. Session closure was again facilitated through use of the familiar "clean up" song, joint reference to the visual schedule, removal of my picture, placement in the pocket, and acknowledgment of the next teacher's arrival. Consistent verbal imitation of the model "Marcus, where are you? " as we awaited his arrival was noted 4 times. Continued use of classical music during session is noted as well.
