after school speech #7

Last Wednesday, SJ had his weekly speech session.  His therapist said he did a nice job during their session.  

First, she reviewed the classifying words that he had done for homework.  He still had trouble with 4 of the 18.  One that he had trouble with was:

Plates and bowls are _________.

He needed to answer with dishes. I reviewed those same sentences and he still couldn't quite get the concept.  We will have to continue practicing that skill.

Next, they worked on a describing activity.  SJ had to circle the word that matched his sentence.  He did very well on this activity.  Here is one of the sentences.

This is something small and soft.

His choices were pillow, marble, marshmallow or rock.  He correctly circled marshmallow.

Then, she had him fill in words for a Mad Lib type activity.  These were his words.

Season-Fall

Equipment-soccer ball

Place-NYC

Place-Empire State Building

Building part-door

Thing you read-book

Thing you write-word

Writing utensil-pencil

Appliance-refrigerator 

Furniture-couch

Place-San Diego

Time word-minute

This is the story with his words in it.  

It was fall break and Jessica couldn't think of anything to do.  She tried calling her friends on the soccer ball, but no one was NYC. Jessica went into her Empire State Building and closed the door.  "Maybe I should clean my NYC," she thought.  "No way!  I'm not that bored," she said to herself.  Next Jessica thought of reading a book, but she had read all the books in her NYC.  "I've got it!  I'll write a word," she decided.  Jessica took out a pad of paper and a pencil.  After she sharpened the pencil in the refrigerator, she sat at her couch.  "Hmmm," she said out loud, "now who should I write to?"  Just then the soccer ball rang.  It was her friend Kim.  Kim wanted Jessica to go to the San Diego with her. Guess the word could wait until minute.

She said he really enjoyed that activity, so she asked me to do it again with different words for homework.  

Finally, she had him do a worksheet were he compared himself to two friends.  Then, he needed to answer questions. These were the questions.

1. Which friend are you most like?  Topher

2.  What is the one way you and your friends are alike?  They both like math.

3.  What is one way you and your friends are different?  They have dogs.

4.  What I one way your friends are alike?  They both like chips for a snack.

5.  What is one way your friends are different? They have different hair color.

This was an interesting little assignment.  It got SJ to talk to his friends and enabled him to learn some important things about them.
