She did tell me that his conversational skills are improving greatly. She said he was able to continue the conversation for several turns. This is a vast improvement for him. He used to only go back and forth once or twice. He also would frequently steer the conversation away from the central discussion and talk about what he wants to talk about. I was glad that he is making these improvements. This will be beneficial in all aspects of his life.
She went over a facial worksheet where SJ had to identify if these people were listening well. He was able to identify the three correct choices. Great job SJ!
She assigned him a Problem Solving worksheet. I did this with him the other day. He did very well on this worksheet. He only needed prompted on one question. Then, we worked on two Figurative Language homework sheets. On the main idea and narrative structure questions, he did need prompts with one question. The last question on the meaning of "sick with worry" stumped him. I had to explain this to him. On the second Figurative Language worksheet, he got all the questions correct without me prompting him. He did have some difficulty with the last question. He needed to explain what "I can't hear myself think" means. I needed to explain to him that when it is noisy it is difficult to concentrate.
The last homework worksheet he had was on Taking Turns. There were 14 statements and SJ had to determine if it was a clue to tell him when to talk in a conversation. He had a little bit of trouble with this activity. I reminded him that when someone asks him a question or pauses between sentences that is a clue that it is his turn to talk.
Overall, I was happy with how he completed the homework. I could have used a little less complaining about it, but you can't have everything!
