Today was a group effort w/Parker, Whitney, and myself. Even though Tony was a tad distracted he did some receptives, motor imitation, and intraverbals (such as “you cut w/scissors” and “you drink from a cup”). He also manded many things such as “color”, “ride”, and “crayon”. He was also making verbal approxs for some things that we couldn’t figure out. He was extremely talkative. Tony has mastered matching his numbers and letters with his puzzles. Maybe we could now do puzzle matching with animals (saying “where does the sheep go?”). I didn’t have luck with touching body parts w/out gestural or physical prompt although Tony completely did this to the “Head, Shoulders,…”song with his musical dog. Sometimes he got slightly upset when asked to touch his body parts. We didn’t push too hard on this one today but did go back to it many times. We did do some attributes with different sized ducks and balls but we have some questions for you (Whitney will blog them later). Although I had my wisdom teeth pulled I was happy to work with him a little just to maintain exposure. He did well considering his long weekend! I look forward to Wed.
