Chris rapidly initiated conversation this morning as he excitedly asked, "Do you like my SMC costume?" Chris was glad to elaborate on each detail of his costume following specific question stimuli. Periodic redirection was needed to support the use of cohesive ties as he expanded.
Rapid topic shift was noted today, and familiar cues provided the foundation for use of transition phrases for the duration of the session. Internal distraction was noted this session at a higher intensity. However, his awareness regarding his attentional fluctuation was strongly evidenced as responses to question or comment were characterized by use of affirmation, subsequent apology, and request for clarification. For example, "Yeah, uh- huh, wait, sorry Ms. Lynne, what ?" was utilized 4 times within session. Self awareness continues to improve, supporting increased success within communication exchanges across expanded topics.
