summer speech therapy part 5

Today was another speech therapy session.  SJ's speech therapist asked how he was this week.  I told her we had done a Prediction worksheet and he had needed some help.  There was a picture of a family in a car with luggage.  SJ had to answer questions about where the family was going, where they would stay, what they would do if it rained, etc.  He also initially replied with "I don't know" responses, but then I offered him some suggestions for him to choose from.  When he was finished with his session, she told me that they were working on How questions.  She said he was having some trouble when she was reading the questions to him.  When she had him read the questions himself, he was able to answer the questions much quicker.  She said maybe it was too much her reading to him.  She seemed pleased that he was able to do some on his own.  She assigned him the remainder of the worksheet for homework.  I did tell her that the therapy is noticeably carrying over to his social life.  He has been approaching kids at the pool to play with him.  He had a conversation with his dad today on the telephone and was asking him appropriate questions.  He even told me that his therapist was going to the same place as we are for our family vacation.  He said, "She is going the same month as us."  Even though SJ still has some speech struggles, all the baby steps he is making is helping him navigate the typical world.  I couldn't be prouder!
