Santino was happily ordering alphabet blocks when this tutor arrived to greet him at the onset of today's session. He is responsive to structure and consistency of routine so it was helpful in terms of adjustment and expectations to have him continue the activity he began yesterday. It is interesting to note that Santino effectively uses tactile discrimination skills to interpret objects, symbols, obtaining a lot of information through different sensory modes. He will examine objects from all angles and use his different senses to process information about its properties and broaden his understanding of the world around him. Santino matched the letter on the blocks with another set of letters, placing one atop the other with precision and accuracy. Santino indicated he wished to go outside after the first hour in the classroom and enjoyed playing on the equipment that was accessible to him. He enjoyed running up and down the bridge and demonstrated a few attempts to mimic the tutor performing motor activities when prompted. Santino demonstrates good coordination and balance but chooses to do what he elects to rather than participate with others in organized activities. It was good for him to get a bit of a break today and he seemed to enjoy playing on the playground equipment with which he was familiar from his participation at Batt over the summer. Santino did not indicate he wished to eat or drink any of the options presented to him upon his return to the classroom, choosing instead to resume playing with his blocks. It should be noted that he did fine without the use of technology today as his mother took his tablet and phone with her when she left. He also no longer needs to carry around the security blanket on which he had been dependent over the summer, so gains in his overall performance and daily functioning are evidenced. Santino enjoyed singing songs as he arranged the blocks in correct sequence. He satisfactorily and seamlessly transitioned to his next teacher when the session was over.
