summer speech therapy part 6

It is Tuesday, so SJ had his speech therapy session. I was unable to take him today, but my husband was able to go. Last week, SJ had discovered that his therapist is going to the same beach as we are. My sister-in-law had brought over a map of the resort this weekend. SJ was very excited to take it in and show it to his therapist. I thought that was great that he was already thinking about what he wanted to talk to her about. Besides discussing vacations with her, he worked on Multiple Meaning words. For example: He had a sentence that said Devin loved to splash in the waves. Next to the sentence were two pictures: one was an ocean wave and one was a baby waving. He had to circle the correct picture and then provide the difference between both pictures. He did excellent on this activity. She said he got 100% correct. He also worked on a Deciding What to Do worksheet. The therapist gave him a scenario. The scenario was that a friend asks him to leave the pool without telling their moms. SJ had to first, stop and think. He had to write down what he was asked to do. Then, he had to mentally ask himself some questions. He came up with three questions. They were: Is that a problem? Yes, Is it safe? No, and Will he get into trouble? Yes. He did okay with the first two sections, but had some problems with the last section. in the last section, he had to think and decide what to do. The therapist had to prompt him, but he was able to complete it. He had to answer what he knew, which was that it was a problem, it was dangerous and he will get into trouble. He had to decide what to do, which was to not leave the pool without telling his mom. Overall, the therapist told my husband that he had a good day. We will continue to work on helping him with abstract concepts.
