Richard was greeted as he finished with his previous teacher. He was happy throughout the session. It has been a bit since I have seen him last due to sickness and absence last week. He reported he is feeling better. We covered the calendar & change/month concept. Richard's language and overall expression today was more unorganized than the last few sessions. Richard required more verbal prompting to organize and use word finding techniques. We did a lot of exercises targeting language skills such as regular and irregular past tense and using present progressive verbs appropriately. Later in the session, Richard began to demonstrate increased self awareness. We again targeted /th/ in the initial position of the word at the sentence level, achieving ~60% accuracy. We targeted some social and pragmatic situational skills, that seem to be improving with both peers and elders. Continued collaboration with both ST and OT has been occurring and beneficial to Richard's progress.
