after school speech part 6

On Thursday, SJ was back at speech again.  His therapist told me she was going to be setting new goals for SJ.  She wanted to know if I had anything specific that he needed to work on.  I asked her if I could think about it and let her know next week.  She said that was fine and took SJ back.  While SJ was at his appointment, I ran to get his McDonald's.  As I was sitting in the drive through line, I realized I should have told her to work on his reading comprehension.  I know she is not a reading specialist, but I thought she could have him read a paragraph or two.  After he reads them to her, she could ask him a few questions about the content.  Plus, I thought she could work on his "mumbling" while he reads.  He does that when he doesn't want to read.  He also sometimes sounds robotic when he reads.  I thought she could maybe work that into his goals.  When I returned to pick him up, I told her about those suggestions.  She said she would try to work them in.  She then told me about the work he had done in his appointment.  They worked on Sequencing.  She said he did fairly well, but he had some difficulty with some of the situations.  He would know how they would begin and end, but may forget some middle steps.  For example:  Tell me how you make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  He knew there was peanut butter and jelly on the bread, but he neglected to say you need to use a knife to spread it.  She showed him a paper that had sequencing cue words.  They were First, Then, Next and Last.  After she told him to use the cue words, he did a little better.  She complimented him on his conversation skills, which is always nice to hear.  Overall, it was a good session.
