Santino was seen for session 34 of 34 with this SLP in the individual classroom and appeared pleasant and calm upon transition 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...The visual schedule was referenced and reviewed. Santino was presented with 2 novel and 2 familiar activities, and 3 familiar book options. Santino referenced each, but, as in the session prior, appeared to be in search of another preferred activity. Independent of direction, Santino searched this SLP's bag of activities, pulled-out "Mr. Potato Head", sat on the pillows then attempted to open the container. Upon redirection and reference to the options presented, Santino requested, "Pop-Up Pirate" via photo exchange, but immediately rejected the activity once provided...In an attempt to engage Santino, another novel activity was presented. Santino stood and sat in the chair at the table upon verbal direction then began to assist with removal and set-up of the activity to create a Jack-O-Lantern...Santino requested via photo exchange all materials required to complete the task: Foam Pumpkin, Eyes, Nose, Mouth, 3 "Vines", and the letters, H-A-P-P-Y x 2. Moderate to minimal physical assistance was provided as he placed each item in it's location correctly...Verbal rehearsal of unknown context was noted intermittently. Santino verbalized letter names upon receipt..."All Done" was referenced by this SLP then selected by Santino. He assisted with clean-up upon verbal direction....The session came to a close in the usual manner with the "Good-Bye" Song and successful photo exchange on his daily, visual schedule given both verbal and minimal physical prompts from this SLP...Continue as planned with focus on intentional communication to request and initiate via social referencing paired with photo exchange and verbalization.
