Chris excitedly initiated communication as he so often does. He shared some of the new items that he had with him, and this afforded the familiar opportunity to expand conversational reciprocity. Chris utilized familiar starter strategies. The majority of reciprocal exchanges were supported by use of direct question followed by a contingent response. Topic shifting was rapid this session, and was acknowledged and subsequently supported to encourage use of familiar "topic transition phrases."
Vocabulary expansion continues to be noted consistently. Strong focus on the aspects of communicative success were highlighted once again this session. Familiar supports to assist with clarification of intended message were provided. Instances of communication uncertainty continue to result in abandonment of topic and abrupt topic shift. Supports to persevere through the instances of mis- communication, enabling successful revision and or repair to ensure increased success within an exchange continues to be a strong focus. Aspects of perspective taking, and presupposition, interpretation of body language, facial expression, and gesture as means to assist with identification of communication message success continue to be embedded within "conversational" activities. Chris was highly motivated this session, and although topic shift was rapid, Chris continued to remain vested within the activities presented.
