We used Santino's Fruit Loops cereal to attempt some simple addition skills. Santino was prompted to set up a specified number of the cereal pieces and I added one. He was then assisted in counting all the pieces one-by one - touching them to add a tactile component to his learning. Santino required verbal prompts as well as physical ones to help him sustain his attention. We continued to address communication skills and Santino worked on broadening and lengthening his sentences when requesting activities. He is working on formulating his requests using a subject, verb, and noun - in addition to adding the word 'please,' as prompting methods are faded when performance gains are evidenced. Santino enjoyed spending time engaged in outdoor play. He exhibited clear enthusiasm mimicking my actions and following directives on the bridge and other equipment. We concentrated on the word 'octopus' as this struck his fancy and attention when visiting a classroom. He read the word on the board, was afforded hand-over-hand writing it, and learned that it had eight legs, which we counted and verbalized upon request. Santino followed directives correctly during cleanup prior to his dismissal.
