Chris quickly initiated conversation as he was curious as to thoughts about his hair style this morning. This afforded an opportunity for a wonderful expanded exchange which rapidly included the discussion of the different hairstyles of the many rock stars he admires. Increased cycles of exchange were noted, and familiar supports were provided to allow for more continuity, rather than repetition of an utterance which is often utilized as a tool for listener reaction. Allowance for novel topic discussion was strong today, with noted increases in self awareness and perspective taking. Topic shift was supported with familiar cues in order to best facilitate fluid topic transition and increased use of cohesive ties. Strong session today.
