The session commenced with supporting Christopher regarding the schedule for the day, and establishing familiar patterns of conversational reciprocity. Gentle encouragement to support topic maintenance and cohesive sentence links while sharing information regarding a specific topic was provided. Chris excitedly shared the plush toys that he had with him today. Opportunity for expansion of discussion into character traits, categorical inclusion and exclusion, as well as similarities and differences was provided. Supports for "connecting thoughts, shifting thoughts and closing thoughts" were provided consistently this session. Opportunity for cross pattern movement sequences was expanded into independent movement activities, with a focus on repetition of sequences with fluidity and were scaffolded in small increments into more complex sequences. This activity allowed for increased sustained attention, and increased cohesive sentence links in the conversational language activities that followed.
