summer speech therapy part 2

SJ had his weekly speech therapy yesterday.  He had a really good session.  The therapist was working on synonyms, antonyms and word association.  She said that he was scoring about 60-65% on his own with the synonyms and antonyms.  With assistance, he was scoring around 85%.  He didn't do as well with the word association.  He was only able to score around 50%.  She sent him home with homework, which we will be working on this week.  I am going to make a game out of the homework.  I think I am going to put some subjects in a hat and see if he can name off 10-15 things associated with it.  If SJ thinks it is a game, I will have much more success in having him participate.  SJ hates "homework".  If I turn the homework into a game, we can use Bob as a contestant too.   Bob is a great help when we do things like this.  He has always been a terrific model for SJ.  Now, I just have to get some prizes.  I guess I will be making a run to Sheetz to get a Juicy Drop Pop (for SJ) and mini M & M's (for Bob).  It is definitely worth the little bit of money that these candies cost to not have to hear the deafening cries that thought of doing "homework" produces.  Wish me luck!
