Santino was greeted in the classroom very alert and happy. He reportedly ate a good meal around 10:30am. I had a call with mom earlier in the day regarding Santino's progress and short/long term goals. Santino was quite verbal this session, it was great. He greeted with eye contact with multiple teachers - requiring minimal prompting. We were standing across the room picking a book and Santino verbally requested "chair, yes. I want chair". The verbal intent was very clear and impressive. We did a book activity that targeted many goals of Santino including sustaining attention, following directions, answering questions, requesting and vocabulary. Working on safety questions, Santino was asked his name and home location, answering independently 0/5 trials however with prompting he answered 5/5. As discussed, our goal is for Santino to answer his personal safety questions independently in case there were to ever be a situation with an unfamiliar person that will not be able to provide prompting/cues. We targeted these questions with a visual cue rather than a verbal cue which appeared beneficial to reduce the prompt hierarchy. I wrote his name and home location on a paper and when asked, showed the paper rather than verbally cueing him. Additionally, we targeted many yes/no questions which he did GREAT with, requiring significantly less cues for this skill. Santino was happy throughout the session. We did sequencing/functional/activity of daily living tasks including opening our backpack, removing the lunch box, changing diaper, washing hands, cleaning work space, putting on shoes, etc. - Santino is making gains in this area as well. Overall, today was a great day with demonstration of improvement in speech and language. I'm glad Santino had a nice Thanksgiving break.
