 Raymond's Therapy Update for the Week

"We have been working on:

Receptive Language

• N/A today

Expressive Language

 

- Raymond was very expressive today (words and sign use).  He continues to make choices well by pointing to objects. 

Using Functional Language

 

- Raymond used signs and some words in response to questions today.

Articulation

 

- We worked on answering yes/no questions.  Raymond used head shakes in imitation of "no."  He consistently used "open" (o-o) and said "go back" spontaneously today.  Raymond made a request for pat-a-cake by verbalizing (attempt) and gesturing.

Voice/Establish Fluency

• N/A today

Other

• N/A today

We worked on these during:

• 1:1 (Home)

Comments:

- When asking a yes/no question formulate it to elicit a "no" response from Raymond.  Instead of "Are you all done with the book?" ask "Do you want book?""

In school, Isabella and her class have been learning about American Symbols.  The American Flag, Statue of Liberty, Liberty Bell, etc..  She has seemed to really enjoy learning about these things.  She told Chris and I she wants to go see the Liberty Bell since it is in Philadelphia.  All the kids in her class made American Symbol books to take home.  On the front was a section for them to draw any of the symbols they wanted.

 

This is Isabella's... 

 

 

So, I recognized the Statue of Liberty and the American Flag.  I had to ask her about the other two pictures.  She told me the heart was a symbol for a hospital (The Red Cross maybe?).  She continued to tell me that Mrs. Hodnik told the class that one of the reasons they should be thankful to live in the United States of America is because we have such good hospitals.  So she decided to draw a picture of Raymond when he was a baby, in the hospital, hooked up to all of the machines, with a nurse taking care of him.

She is my sweet, sensitive girl!

 

Until Next Time!

Lots of Love,
