Santino used a complete sentence when requesting lunch today, "I want to eat," and he required only one prompt to do so. He also enjoyed his lunch of pureed/whipped potatoes and it was of a thicker consistency that enabled him to eat it without any spillage. He refused other food options but later requested a snack of Fruit Loops and water, which he drank from a cup. Santino will occasionally omit sentence prepositions; however, he is responsive to prompts when they are pointed out, and he will make an effort to verbalize the sentence correctly. We are currently working on adding the word, 'please' when making requests but have just begun to add this at the beginning or end of sentences, where appropriate. Santino requested to go outside, but waited until the other students had left for the day as he prefers having the playground to himself. Once outside, he enjoyed going on the different types of equipment as I narrated his actions. Together, he counted the steps leading to the 2 different slides and enjoyed finding hidden objects based on directional cues. This helps him to better understand the function and importance of prepositions in speech as Santino is responsive to verbal and visual cues and learns quickly, if invested. When we went back inside after Santino requested to do so, he aptly named the student's rooms that he wished to visit. Back in the classroom, we worked on a calendar skill today. Santino identified the days of the week and ordered them correctly with manipulatives. He also read the alphabet in Spanish off a wall chart, requiring just a few prompts to facilitate his performance. Santino squealed with delight after completing this activity, and he demonstrated good social referencing skills as we navigated about the facility. We enjoyed a highly productive and fun day.
