Chris enthusiastically initiated conversation this morning. He was eager to "show off" his new hooded sweatshirt, as it was from his "SMC merchandise" collection. This provided an excellent springboard for expanded conversation. Speaker-listener reciprocity was strong this session, as cycles of exchange were noted to range between 3-5 and 4-6 cycles across 6 topics.
Periods of speaker -speaker overlap are steadily decreasing and 4 instances of overlap today were characterized by use of the continuation phrase "you go ahead Ms. Lynne."
Session focus was also in the area of linguistic organization, highlighting the notable decrease in the use of "TV talk," and the subsequent increase in novel language use and expanded vocabulary. Topic transition was characterized by use of familiar transition phrases with decreased need for cue supports. Strong session once again.
