Chris was eager to share thoughts regarding his uncertainty about planning for his next video. Review of the "ideas" from his "topic secret notebook" was the focal point for conversational expansion. Allowance for speaker listener reciprocity was supported this session with familiar cues and supports. Instances of speaker -speaker overlap were noted to increase this session, however,
Chris was observed to utilize familiar repair strategies. Topic shifting was also noted to be more rapid than in recent sessions and was supported with familiar cues, and subsequent use of "transition phrases" were used to support transitions throughout the duration of the session.

For Valentine's Day the kids were very excited to be exchanging valentine cards and candy with each other. It was great to see the thoughtfulness and kindness going into all the interactions.

Tristan was in a great mood coming off a fun lunch and recess where he has joined the larger group of kids. He talked about one of the kids bothering him and we again reviewed how he handled it and going forward some other options for dealing with conflict. Tristan was very curious and asking a lot of questions. When he reaches his limit, he is quick to say "ok enough, lets do something else please."

Back to the iPad for focussed practice. Spencer figured out that if he gives an attentive and strong start to the session, that he has more "fun" options for the end of speech therapy sessions. He was determined to get the strong /r/ while practicing a list on the iPad of 30 words.

Tristan worked hard on his strong /s/ and then asked to take the practice outside. We played a game of hoops while discussing strong communication strategies. He was frustrated with a peer and asked for how to handle the situation. Tristan demonstrated good problem solving and flexible thinking during the discussion.

Spencer requested the same iPad speech game to practice hard and then play a game of his choice. After 35/50 strong /r/ productions, Spencer chose to play soccer. It was a good opportunity to discuss good sportsmanship.
