Lesson Outline
Session commenced via teletherapy following brief technical delay. Jamie had initiated contact via email just prior to session to share that Chris was at home today. The "scheduled appointment" email link that enables the connection was forwarded as per protocol to Chris' Batt school email. As per Jamie's request a new confirmation email needed to be re sent to an alternative email. This was successful. Christopher initiated the session by sharing the the he was very sad that a favorite Mario lego character was missing. Initial distraction regarding the missing Mario was strong, Gentle and supportive redirection was successful. Chris expanded on items of interest that he was eager to share. Allowance for reciprocity was supported, as attentional shifting was strong, characterized by use of familiar conversation starters ( "I gotta tell you something, Can I ask you something ? Wanna know something?") Cues and supports to support reciprocity were successful as increased cycles of Speaker/Listener exchange were noted. Additional responses to questions and comments increased as topics were guided by "observations" of the many items in his room that were seen through the screen. Expansion into tasks of identification of items based on use of attributes and location within his room was extremely successful. Sudden attentional shifts redirected back to the missing item he discussed as the session commenced were noted following approximately 45 minutes of engaged activity. Familiar strategies were shared with Christopher to support redirection and a "calmer " response to his dilemma. Familiar breathing strategies and techniques were utilized and once more discussed as a means to help the brain and body feel calmer and allow for better thinking and ideas. Christopher was participatory, and the techniques were successful as we "problem solved " together.
