Santino was greeted as he was walking back to the pre-k classroom. He reportedly ate lunch right before school and had a bubble bath. He was happy upon arrival. He started to walk around the classroom however with simple direction, Santino assisted with preparing the room for session. He got two chairs to bring to the table and helped pick out books for the week. Santino verbally requested for books. We are working on answering yes/no questions as well as simple "wh" questions. Giving him choices appears to be helpful, for example - when asked "where are the books?" the choices "in the bathroom or the library?" and Santino will often choose one of the two. Today, he repeated "book? yes". We will continue to work on where questions in addition to functional yes/no questions. We did the book of Santinos choice. During these activities, not only do we read aloud - we target mostly commenting on illustrations. This is beneficial for auditory bombardment of language concepts including verbs, nouns, adjectives, prepositions and pronouns. Attention was fleeting today. We started working n the Boom apps which is on the iPad or computer and it is geared toward goals that are individualized for Santino. This is a nice activity for Santino since he is more motivated by high tech. We went on the playground for approximately 10 minutes. Santino has been demonstrating fear the last few times going on the play ground. There was nobody else out there however he continued to look back at the door. He was requesting to go inside. I am not sure where this recent fear came from since he used to enjoy being on the playground targeting speech/language goals. I spoke to his music teacher and she reported Santino is having difficulty going outside as well. I would like for him to be around other children for social/peer interaction. He would benefit from more peer to peer interactions throughout the day and the playground is a great place to establish that. When asked his name, Santino did not independently answer any of the opportunities. Prompting was offered however today, he required modeling for each opportunity.
