I only worked with Tony for a short while today (speech came earlier to play catch up since poor Tony was so sick last week), but he did some pretty cool things. For one, Tony tacted “light”, “snail” (made an approximation), “hole”, and “flag” (also an approximation), all new words. He first echoed these objects while outside but later went back to each one, put his hands on the objects and said the words. Tony also saw a duck and said “duck”, then he made a turkey sound while running up to the animal, thereby scaring the poor creature. With “do this”, Tony clapped, stomped, and drummed his hands. We did very little matching but what we did (matched pictures of cars, boys, and mice) Tony completed correctly. Outside Tony requested “jump”, “swing”, “open”, “walk”, “aah choo”, and “all done”. Tony tacted to “what’s this” outside and he also independently tacted many things, such as alphabet letters, “ball”, and colors. He also said “bye Jill”, and and “hi”. Tony said “cool” a lot, too. We didn’t do a real ABA session today but Tony is really coming along with his speech.
