Brad had a great session today. We were interrupted by one case of the giggles. We acknowledged the giggles and laughed as hard as we could for 30 seconds. Then we proceeded with the session. This approached worked well with several prompts to settle down at the end of laugh time. Overall, Brad was very focused. Again, he required little cueing to take turns reading today's social story. He actively brainstormed for situations to use 'excuse me'. We began his social language dictionary for common phrases and situations when they should be used. Brad drew a great picture of someone sneezing and then saying 'excuse me'. He was confused and kept trying to say 'bless me', but he ultimately understood that someone else should say 'bless you' and the person who sneezed should say 'excuse me'. Brad really seems to be opening up more and more and participating more each session. He's making better eye contact and heeding directions with fewer prompts.
