after school speech #5

Last Wednesday SJ had his weekly speech therapy session.  His therapist worked on classifying words.  She said he did very well with that.  She completed 10 out of the 20.  She assigned the remaining 10 for homework.  

She also worked on antonyms with him.  He did well, but had trouble identifying "real" as an antonym for "make believe".  She asked me to review that word.  I did and he still had trouble identifying that real was it's antonym.  I don't know why he is having trouble with that word.

She told me she was pleased that he used an appropriate tone when he was working with her.  

She assigned him a worksheet on comparing two words.  He had to say what they had in common and what made them different.  For example:  helicopter-airplane.  He said they both fly, but the helicopter has blades.

She also assigned him a worksheet on antonyms.  He had to complete nursery rhymes with antonyms.  He did very well with this assignment.  

When we completed the homework on classifying, he only had trouble with 2 out of the 10.  He had trouble with this one:  cast/crutches/scenery/props. He had to tell me that crutches didn't belong. He got confused over what "cast" meant.
