Christopher was eager to talk about his new idea for "you tube." He excitedly removed the collection of Mario plush toys from his backpack and began naming each of the characters that I had not yet seen. Scaffolding supports to assist Chris with organization of ideas as he shared descriptions of each character were facilitative in organizing and itemizing the details that he was wanting to share. Familiar strategies of "connecting thoughts, closing thoughts and shifting thoughts" were utilized as linear, cohesive sentence formulation was variable this session.
He was extremely excited, as his attention rapidly shifted between ideas.
Additional focus this session was on the use of self generated dialogue vs. recall and use of "previously heard " dialogue.
