Santino was seen for session 21 of 21 with this SLP in the individual classroom. He appeared pleasant and regulated as he transitioned between sessions...Goals for the session remained consistent and 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 directed to sit in the chair at the table. In an attempt to extend his interest and interaction with Mickey Mouse "Deck the Halls!" Big Fun Coloring Book which he referenced during the prior session with both Miss Christina and this SLP, Santino was directed to and presented with a "Gingerbread Man" craft. With hand-over-hand assistance, Santino added the basic parts to assemble the Gingerbread Man. Eye contact, focus and engagement were noted throughout the 10 minute activity, He verbalized "Gingerbread Man" twice. Santino referenced the Gingerbread Man Storybook presented by this SLP. With minimal assistance, he turned the pages and tracked selected portions of the text both visually and physically, via his "pointer" finger, as an abbreviated story was read aloud by is SLP. Santino verbalized "Gingerbread Man" twice more during this 10 minute activity. For the following 20-minutes, Santino and this SLP sat facing one another on the floor with Mickey Mouse "Deck the Halls" Big Fun Book To Color situated between us. Santino was prompted to tell this SLP about the pictures as he turned the pages independently. Santino engaged and entered into a two-way, purposeful interaction with gestures and intentional communication via spontaneous verbalization and reading of both single and multi-syllabic words, and two-word phrases printed or pictured on the pages. Continuous back and forth engagement via eye contact, smiles, laughter, gestures and facial expressions of what appeared to be excitement and pride in his verbalizations were noted throughout this 20-minute portion of the session. Santino verbalized and/or read the following during the aforementioned interaction: Holidays, Mickey Mouse, Lollipop, Party Time!, Presents, Present, Hat, Candy Cane, Minnie Mouse, Fun, Eating Cookie, Delicious, Ho-Ho-Ho-!, Pluto, Donald Duck, Oh, boy!, Goofy, Day, Play, Surprise!, Jingle Bells, Merry Christmas!, Write, "Oooooooo!", Happy Holidays!, Accordian, Tuxedo, Daisy Duck, Gingerbread Man, Horray!...The session came to a close in the routine manner with the "Good-Bye" Song. Santino appeared to transition easily from the Mickey Mouse book and successfully completed the photo exchange within the classroom and the lobby given verbal and minimal physical prompts from this SLP...Continue as planned with a focus on activities to build and expand upon functional communication via photo exchange, verbalization and written words.
