Christopher had a good session today. He greeted the clinician appropriately and transitioned easily from lunch. We discussed difficulties in communication breakdown/repair and how to change the topic when there is a pause in the conversation. Chris expressed difficulty pretending to like something he wasn't interested in. We brainstormed a few ways we could ask about someone else's interests. He also informed me that some classmates were easier to relate to than others and he explained he feels he doesn't usually have a hard time making friends but doesn't enjoy socializing with non preferred topics. He self corrected interdental /s/ phoneme in conversation demonstrating great self awareness. We will continue to review conversation strategies and social awareness in the area of making friends and creating conversation turn-taking opportunities.
