In yesterday's lesson, Kelcy and I spent the day in his classroom/office analyzing various words and how their use points toward a mental representation and then other sets of expectations depending of the term. I asked Kelcy how his previous day/evening after our lesson went for him. When his response was a very general statement "good," I followed with what did you do? Kelcy replied "nothing," so I expressed that I was still unclear as to what he had done the prior evening. This allowed me to lead him into specificity in words, and how these words produce a mental representation in our minds that help us understand what is going on around us. For example, the word "color" is used to describe the colors of the rainbow, but technically black/white are not included, however we use that term to describe each. Kelcy was able to correctly list all the colors in order, and I shared the acronym ROYGBIV to which he remembered his grandfather had shown him. I did a fun brain activity to show him how his mind has difficulty when speaking a word vs an image. I listed the ROYGBIV acronym on a whiteboard but wrote each letter in a different color. I then asked Kelcy to recite the color of the letter, not what the letter represented. Kelcy enjoyed this when he continued to struggle or would start to say the color of the letter (our natural tendency) but then he would correct himself to perform it accurately. We then began to look at the relationship of Father/Son, Coach/Player, Teacher/Student, and Boss/Employee. I used an analogy set up for comparing; example, father is to Son, as _________ is to Player. With a little prompting Kelcy was able to correctly determine the word, but he struggled to make the cross-connection in the analogy, which he soon overcame as we completed several of these. Lastly, I described how these terms/words describe a role we fulfill in each relationship, which defines our set of behaviors/expectations that everyone who is called by those terms/words must do properly or there tends to be trouble, difficulty, and challenges.
