Chris was once again eager to initiate communication and share the new "plush " characters that he had brought with him today. Comment -Comment exchange was strong this session as allowance for reciprocity was supported within the nature of the context of the topics discussed. Chris was observed to pause and "wait" with brief anticipation for a response following an "exciting or surprise" comment that he shared over the course of the session. Chris demonstrated increased mindfulness regarding the dynamics of the nonverbal cues, gestures and facial expressions within communication cycles this session. Chris was observed to verbally state his intention to shift topic with appropriate timing. Strong session today.
