Santino was greeted in the pre-k classroom. He was happy upon arrival. I briefly spoke to Ms. Dorothy regarding current goals and academics. We discussed in depth the importance of incorporating language goals as much as possible during the day. Santino already demonstrates area of strengths in concrete concepts such as numbers, letters, reading, etc. We started the lesson with a craft activity. When Santino was given a choice, he chose the craft. We targeted requesting with descriptive + noun. For example, with crayons. Rather than accepting "I want blue". I am prompting for "I want blue crayon". This was a productive and achievable goal today. We also targeted using verbs in context (cutting, coloring, gluing, etc). We did some fine motor work. Santino is improving with using scissors with the verbal cues "open, closed". Attention was improved during this. Joint attention and eye contact was fleeting. We are targeting turn taking and use of my turn/your turn during a game activity in the cafeteria after lunch period was over. There were a few other students present. It is imperative to expose Santino to social situations and peers for many reasons. Finding opportunities for him to be around peers and enjoy interactions with them would be greatly beneficial. We also targeted answering simple "What" questions without the use of echolalia in addition to safety questions. Santino continues to require prompting to answer these. Overall, today was a great day. Santino is making steady progress in the area of functional, spontaneous communication in speech therapy. Additional language support is recommended in the academic setting.
