after school speech part 7

On Thursday, my husband took SJ to his after school speech.  His therapist was focusing on answering What, Where, Who and When questions.  She would have SJ read a very short news report.  Then, she would have him answer the question.

For example:  New Coffee Shop Opens
                  The Coffee Pot is now open on Main Street.  They have great coffee.
                  "Just don't ask for food," says owner Lola Mibbs.  "If you want food, don't come here.  We only sell coffee.  I'm not kidding!"
                  WHAT is not for sale at The Coffee Pot?

After SJ answered the question, he was able to add a touch to his jack-o-lantern cutout (huge reward for him since he loves Halloween!).  She told my husband that he did okay with this activity.  This is an area of struggle for him, so that was to be expected.  I liked that the news reports were short (long reading tasks are very stressful for SJ) and that he got to complete a part of the jack-o-lantern with each answer.  His therapist is doing such a nice job with him.  My husband told her how grateful we are that she is making such progress with SJ. 

After speech, SJ had his McDonald's and went out costume shopping with my husband.  SJ was set, but Daddy needed some help.  They came home with some Halloween treats, a Shaggy costume for my husband and a very happy SJ!
