Santino was greeted as he finished with his previous session. Upon speaking with Ms. Dorothy, we collaborated on current language goals how how to implement them during academic sessions since he is with her the most. I believe it is important to implement as much language into his sessions throughout the day. He did very well today with joint attention and spontaneous commenting/requesting. With commenting, we're working on using a descriptor + object. He has done quite well with this with fading cues. We did a book activity outside at the table today. He seemed content in the outdoor environment however required more cues to maintain attention to the book. We targeted verbs, nouns, and answering questions. We did a craft activity to target language skills as well as fine motor. For requesting, using a clear Ziplock bag with something of high interest has been effective with verbal requesting. Without the use of cues, Santino independently requested for pretend food during a "cooking activity" multiple times. It was a great, successful activity. Increased spontaneous communication overall. We played a game that required turn taking, using pronouns correctly with " my turn, your turn" with moderate cueing. Well done Santino.
