Chris arrived today presenting with a rather somber affect. He was eager however, to participate in the tasks provided. He rather quickly shifted into a more positive affect as conversation and participation in activities progressed. Conversational expansion was strong today with increased cycles of reciprocity and topic maintenance with use of increased comment /comment exchanges was noted. Enthusiasm to venture into more unfamiliar tasks with inherent increased linguistic load embedded within movement/balance board patterning sequences was strong as well. Increased aspects of sustained attention though task completion was noted this session. Strong session.
