Santino entered school bright-eyed, refreshed, and responsive. He allowed me to show him how to open the door using the code, given hand-over-hand prompts. We began with puzzle assembly. Santino chose to assemble a wooden puzzle using the numbers 1 - 9. He picked the number two and I observed him look to and from the puzzle piece to the design to figure out which pieces went together. Santino appropriately selected the two pieces that formed the number 2, but grew frustrated when he was unable to join the pieces and his attention drifted to a bin containing animals. We worked on matching animals with the sounds they make; Santino correctly said "meow" when shown a cat. This was subsequently reinforced by reading him a book aloud about cats, "Cat Count," - and pointing out different numbers and illustrations of cats. When food snacks were taken out of his book bag , Santino showed interest in a banana but didn't eat it once peeled. However, he did hand this teacher a creamy yogurt snack which he ate well when afforded physical prompts. We went outdoors and performed some movement pattern repetition and exercises which Santino enjoyed as evidenced by the frequency of his vocalizations and lots of smiles. He grabbed my hand when he wanted assistance jumping onto and off the high tire, and repeated some verbalizations when performing movements corresponding to the activity and given verbal prompts. We went inside and proceeded to wash our hands in the sink. Santino tried to play with the water but was re-directed to the task at hand and afforded physical prompts when necessary - to obtain soap from the dispenser and towel dry his hands. He finished up the day playing with a blue truck, and repeated the word "truck" clearly when shown to him.
