Lesson Outline
Santino was introduced to his communication book in which several pictures are used to enable him to communicate more effectively by pointing, matching, and verbalizing responses. I showed Santino the book which had letters and names attached by velcro. Santino showed some initial interest and pulled a few letters off one of the pages - the 'a' and the 's' in his last name, but he did not sustain his attention when shown how to re-attach the letters in correct order. He did, however, make repeated eye contact with this teacher when she showed him her picture and her name - and approximated the beginning and end sounds of her name after it was repeated to him several times. This book will continue to be used by Santino's teachers so that he grows more familiar with associating their picture(s) and their name(s) in the hopes of improving his communicative abilities and verbal skills. Santino was also introduced to a marching song and enjoyed marching in a circle with this teacher. The song, 'The Ants go Marching' also served to reinforce his counting skills. We concluded our session using wooden and magnetized alphabet blocks. Santino placed 7 of the wooden blocks in various spots in the room and then took delight placing them back in their correct order. While he did not permit this teacher to intervene in the process, actively preventing her from retrieving any blocks, he did clearly and correctly verbalize the letters as he picked them up, and he enjoyed placing them in a tower configuration. We finished the session touching various sensory objects and manipulating each to hear and feel their different sounds and textures. Santino enjoys and is responsive and perceptive to sensory stimulation - particularly observant with the tactile and spatial properties of objects.
