Today we worked on social inferencing. Chris demonstrated difficulty listening today. He seemed to be thinking of something else most of the session. He required multiple repetitions of the scenarios before he was able to comprehend the questions that followed. During our session Christopher starting talking poorly about himself. He was referring to an entrance exam he had recently taken at another school that he was informed he didn’t do well on. He and I attempted to list a few things he liked about himself. He continued providing me with negative “self talk” and it was evident that his lack of focus on our original task may have been because this other situation was bothering him. We finished by discussing the importance of self confidence and how we can return to the list of positive attributes we brainstormed when he is feeling less confident in himself.
