This morning's session commenced with an unexpected change. As the meeting time arrived, Chris phoned using "face time" sharing that he was at home and wanted to be sure to attend our meeting today. He asked how to meet with our "on line" connection. Following guidance, he attempted to "log in" with both his school email and then with his home email. Chris happily participated from home. He was attentive and enthusiastic for the duration of the session.
Overall linguistic organization was strong, and conversational reciprocity was characterized by more lengthy cycles of exchange, and use strong contingent responses to questions and comments. Response to complex questions was characterized by repetition of the question, pausing, and subsequent formulation of a lengthy cohesive response 6 times during the session.
As the session came to a close, Chris shared that "we might need to meet like this again" due to the fact that upon his early arrival to school, he needs to stay in the "supervised area." Brief discussion to expand his understanding regarding our early Monday/Wednesday meeting time, and the "free" time that he has on the alternate days was provided. A subsequent conversation with front desk staff at school allowed for detailed discussion of today's session and to clarify session plans moving forward.
