after school speech #17

On Wednesday, SJ had his weekly speech session.  His therapist said he had a good session.  He chatted with her about our ski trip. After a few minutes of her listening to SJ, she reminded him that they had work to do.

First, they worked on a turn taking activity. There was a worksheet with 14 sentences that he had to read.  He had to check off the box if the sentence told you it was your turn to talk.

He checked off 11 of the 14 sentences.  He only got one of the sentences incorrect.  This was the sentence.

Your partner says, "Um..." or "Uh..."

Next, they worked on a using adjectives worksheet.  SJ was given four nouns (pin, cliff, towel and driver) with a word bank with four adjectives (damp, sharp, careful and rocky).  He had to pick the best adjective for each noun.  He then had to write a sentence for each.  Here are some of the finished sentences.

Don't touch that sharp pin!

Don't fall off a rocky cliff.

I use a damp towel.

I know a careful driver.

Last, they worked on identifying words from definitions.  They only did 5 together and she said he could do the remaining 15 for homework.  The five that he did do with her he had only minimal difficulty with.  Here is an example of one of the definitions.

A tame animal kept for companionship.  He answered with "pet".
