Chris was very much wanting to discuss "the choices" that he has been making regarding his "YouTube" channel, and the content that he has been producing. This has been a topic of conversation over the last weeks, as Chris has been sharing his thoughts about the "things" that he wants to "create," and "do." This topic has continued to afford excellent opportunities to expand into topics such as self awareness, self reflection, mindfulness, perspective taking and peer relationships.
Conversational reciprocity was strong this session, with Chris demonstrating notable allowance for more lengthy explanations and scenarios while maintaining strong attention, and providing contingent feedback while in the speaker role that follows. Strong session today.

Luke had a great session today. Started out with some social practice asking/answering questions with a peer. He did a great job staying on topic. Luke then worked on homonyms and he did a nice job. 4/5 with no cues.
The session commenced with Chris sharing that he had "a lot to talk about today." Attention was strong, and he clearly was determined to discuss the many topics that were on his mind. He rapidly began by stating that he wanted to talk about the "most important thing on his mind first." Allowance for reciprocity was strong across all topics this morning. Use of familiar transition phrases to allow for more successful topic transition was also strong today. This increase is notable, adding to the natural flow of conversation with more fluidity, and increased integration of true intention and novel language use. Use of the phrase "what do you think?" has increased over the last few sessions, and today that "question" was followed by expansion, and notable wait time, allowing for a full response. Previously, question driven phrases were utilized, however, were typically followed by statements often consisting of "TV talk" or previously learned utterances, with variable allowance for full response. Self awareness continues to be emerging strongly, and expanded "meta" skills continue to blossom. Ability to infer and problem solve, with increased consideration of perspective and presupposition continues to increase as well.
Strong session today.

Luke had a great session today. He worked on a recall activity with pretend groceries. He did a nice job with recall with a visual but when the visual was removed it was more challenging for him to recall the grocery list. He used a repeat strategy twice.
