Santino was seen for session 2 of 2 in Term 3 with this SLP. He appeared distressed and teary-eyed upon transition, perhaps related to anticipation of dismissal. The daily, visual schedule was referenced and reviewed twice in an attempt to eliminate apparent confusion with the daily sequence. Santino seemed to recover quickly, but appeared fatigued throughout the session...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...Consideration has been given to expand upon Goal 5 to include modifier + object/action in the phrase "I want..." via picture exchange and/or verbalization...Santino was directed to an array of 3 planned activities. He immediately referenced the photos, selected one, then requested a familiar activity via verbalization paired with photo exchange, "I want police car!". The "Build and Play Police Car" was presented. Santino requested via photo exchange paired with verbalization throughout the activity, which involved using a screwdriver to take apart then reassemble the police car. The following verbalizations were noted over the 40-minute segment: "I want screwdriver" x 14, "I want bumper" x 2, "I want lights" x 2, "I want spoiler" x 2, "I want wheel" x 8. As the back bumper and front bumber with lights closely resembled one another, Santino was observed to examine the photos and parts carefully prior to verbalizing his request successfully!. Once reassembled, Santino was encouraged x 2 to push the police car under and through the legs of the chair which he did with success x 1...It is important to note that Santino requires minimal, if any, assistance to use the screwdriver and to assemble/disassemble the vehicle. The session came to a close in the typical manner with the "Good-Bye Song" and reference to the daily, visual schedule in preparation for dismissal. Santino verbalized "Mommy" to complete the phrase, First...Miss Ingrid, Then..."Mommy". In response to, "Who is here?", Santino verbalized, "Miss Ingrid!"...Continue as planned with focus on use of communication book/photos across sessions/instructors and settings...
