Chris was eager to share the new "plush toys" that he had brought with him this morning. He prefaced "sharing" them by stating "I hope you don't think this is crazy Ms. Lynne" as he chuckled. The toys that he subsequently shared were duplicates of three of the toys that he already has in his collection. This afforded an opportunity to discuss story line ideas, and creative "movie making." His enthusiasm prompted his fast pace as he provided various "ideas" in rapid succession. Supports to allow for pausing, reciprocal expansion and acknowledgement of comment were facilitative. He subsequently shared that he " thinks he is a better thinker now" and that he "thinks about the things we talk about."
Attentional shifting was decreased today, as shared reference was sustained for more lengthy periods, and conversational reciprocity was sustained for increased cycles.
Additionally, Chris was able to identify items within a semantic class and provide rationale with with 60% accuracy. Review of /s/ phoneme production was an additional focus. Chris was observed to self correct targets in short phrases with 65% accuracy. Strong session.
