…And this is a young man who, when he was three, only twirled string in the light beams and only repeated what we said to him. To all you young parents out there: never give up!!!!

Nat’s Day

Today: September 3, 2008

Programs: E-mail, Answering phone, Chapter reading, reading comp, document reading, sightwords, respond to questions, conversation, pronouns, table top transaction, math, safety skill, wallet

Vocational: Mail Delivery, Fold Shirt, Deliver message, Stock Shelves, Follow Directions, Photocopy, Assembly

Leisure: Lots of books (he kept picking them whenever we gave him the free choice), floor puzzle, music, computer

Special: Playground (Annie was on vacation so we didn’t have music- but he did great with our schedule being slightly different due to her vacation)

Lunch: School lunch today was Mac and Cheese. He threw it away so we made him Ravioli instead. He ate that and the fruit cup.

Snack:

Note:
We started Nat on a new stimulus set for sightwords, they deal with the playground and various activities he can do while outside. He has completed the first chapter of his book and will move on once he completes his comprehension questions. For his conversations we have taken ourselves (the teachers) out of it and have some of his peers ask him questions like what special he had and whether he had fun while he was there and having Nat respond with the correct answer. I hope that eventually he will not only ask questions back, but with all of this spontaneous conversation we are all seeing this might help him gear some of it towards his friends. –Therese
