Christopher was seen in the office today for the first time as per his request. Nicole had shared on Friday via telephone that she had spoken to Jamie, as Christopher had inquired about working at the office rather than at school via teletherapy. Jamie had followed up with the inquiry and confirmed to have services commence at the office beginning today, until the time deemed appropriate to resume face to face at school. Christopher was so incredibly happy and excited as he arrived at the office. It was so wonderful to see such genuine happy affect and sincere sense of calm and happiness exude from him throughout the session. Facial expression, body language, attention and intention were strongly integrated this morning. Conversational reciprocity was strong today, as Chris even shared " I remembered to "think together" today Ms. Lynne." Twice during the session he clearly was eager to share and interject a rapid topic change, and although the attentional shift was evident, he remained in his "listener role" without sudden shift and interjection. Strong acknowledgement was shared, in conjunction with validation of his intent to suddenly shift, and the success he demonstrated with reading the cues, and allowing for the more appropriate timing to shift, relying on awareness of pause and partner's perspective. Lots of exploration of the various materials, toys etc. that he had not seen, as expansion into the familiar language concepts was presented across activities of his choice. Such a strong session today !
