Richard was quiet today and not his usual chatty self. He was anxious to get to Pokemon Go so he asked to do the work so we can move on. We have been working on self advocating so he was praised for being direct with his message and clearly asked for what he wanted. He was going through the motions with our speech practice but was focussed and attentive. He got frustrated during the sequencing/story telling task so he used his
words to ask if "can we take a break from this." I honored that request because of the direct, respectful and effective communication.
