Richard completed his interactive calendar. He read all his vocabulary words and discussed their meanings. We discussed the different layers of the atmosphere. He read a reading comprehension article about space and answered written questions pertaining to the article.
I worked with Richard to come up with a theme for his bookbinding project. Richard decided on One Piece. Richard came up with a list of 16 different characters to illustrate for his book.
Richard was seen in his room for a 45-minute treatment session. His session focuses on improving his postural control, integration of retained reflexes, visual motor skills and integration, fine motor skills, dexterity, manipulation, ocular motor development and graphomotor development/keyboarding as an alternative means to written communication. Began session with cursive writing instruction. Continued learning and was instructed on the lower case letter "z". When he was provided with a visual example he began writing words with like "zebra". Richard is very slow when writing in cursive at this time but with practice this skill can become faster and more efficient. We continued to review each letter for quicker recall. Good session.

Began session with sensory activity on "Spooner" which provides vestibular input with rotary movement. He went "fishing" while on "Spooner" for sight words. Once he found a sight word he was asked to read it and put it in a sentence. He required assistance to read the words "little" and "funny" but was able to independently read many level 1 words (ex. I, it, in). Worked on cursive letter lowercase "x". He wrote sometimes "x" too wide. With cues and demo able to write well. Reviewed letters. He did well today.
