The session commenced this morning with Chris unexpectedly initiating the session from home a few minutes ahead of schedule.
He was commended once more for his timeliness and sense of responsibility. He was clearly tired, and he did share that he had attended a local Halloween event Sunday night, and returned home quite late. He briefly shared details regarding the event, and rapidly segued into a preferred topic. He was eager to share and discuss the current status of his "plush" collection. The huge collection was carefully organized into "sections" in preparation for his upcoming move. Scaffolding supports provided a baseline to assist Chris with linear presentation of details regarding the characters, their associations and relatedness. Varied question stimuli provided provided a foundation for increased topic expansion. Conversational reciprocity was characterized by expanded cycles of exchange, however, instances of overlap were notably high. Supports to reduce instances of overlap were successful and Chris continues to demonstrate stronger awareness of conversational breakdown and subsequent use of repair strategies.
