Christopher was excited with all the holiday festivities. He has been really making an effort with all the students lately. He is very kind and thoughtful with the younger ones. He is practicing good strategies of "ignoring" or "changing the topic" with the peers who sometimes trigger Chris. He feels good when he sees that the strategies are effective. He has his moments of saying unrealistic or negative statements but his communication skills have improved to a place where we can now problem solve and think of an alternative approach. Very proud of Chris!
