after school speech part 21

I was able to take SJ to his speech session last week.  I had spoke to his new therapist on the phone and discussed with her his speech program.  I also asked her to work on his repeating (a big complaint of Bob's) and to continue working on his comprehension difficulties.

He had a particularly difficult day at school, so I was unsure if he would be cooperative for the therapist.  Fortunately, my worry was unnecessary.  He did great for his therapist!  She said he was very talkative.  When he started to repeat with her, she was able to guide him onto different subjects.  (Maybe I should send Bob in with him to get some tips!) 

She worked on several Problem Solving worksheets.  He was shown a picture and then had to read a story.  She had him answer Who, What and How questions.  She also had him predict what was going to happen in the story.  After he answered the questions, she had him retell the story by stating the Where, What and How answers.  The worksheet also had questions on Main Idea and Details.  She said he did very well with these activities. 

I was very pleased that his difficult day at school hadn't rolled over to his speech session.  I never know if even something small let alone something big will derail him.  Maybe it is maturity or he is managing his emotions better now that he is 10.  Whatever it is, I will take it!
