Chris enthusiastically initiated conversation with a strong focus this morning, as he was eager to share the additional items on his Christmas list. He demonstrated strong awareness of non verbal cues indicating that he needed to revise, and expand his utterances as he provided details about the new items on his list to ensure increased clarity and communication success. Allowance for speaker listener reciprocity was strong this session. In addition, he was observed to acknowledge attentional shifting and rapid topic shifts 5 times within the session, and subsequently utilized transition phrases and cohesive links. It has been observed that Chris has begun to utilize "humor" and "teasing" as a tool to initiate conversation. This has afforded and opportunity to once again review and expand upon the concept of perspective taking, as well as discussing the use of "novel" ideas and language in comparison with use of "tv" talk or "previously heard" verbal scenarios within conversation. Strong session today.
