Chris arrived to school 25 minutes late. Fortunately, Elise had logged in for Chris anticipating his arrival and we were already connected virtually, sharing the screen as he entered the room. He was a bit unsettled as he was late, and shared his feelings regarding missing so much of "our time."
Supports to redirect attention and initiate conversation were successful, however, distractions were high this session as he also expressed that he didn't have breakfast and was very hungry, as well as sharing his thoughts regarding the upcoming weekend plans. Chris was successful at providing contingent responses to alternative topics that were provided, and engaged in cycles of reciprocity following use of varied cues this session.
