This afternoon, Santino followed simple 2 step directions or object function regarding food set up and preferred choice of utensils. He required minimal multi-modal cues for answering questions and commenting and is making slow but consistent progress. Santino set up his lunch in accordance to his preferences; he obtained a prop item with which to set up/support the linguistic activity he requested while eating. He ate his homemade puree with ease and facility. Santino has made progress with complying with oral motor and desensitization exercises and we will continue to target expanding his solid/table food repertoire when needed, while improving the efficacy of his oral motor skills.
