after school speech #18

Last Wednesday was SJ's weekly speech session.  She said he worked nicely for her. She continued to work on identifying words from definitions.  He did fairly well with this activity. He had 15 definitions to identify.  He only needed prompted on 3 of the 15.  One of the ones he needed prompted with was the following.

A fastener for clothing with two rows of metal teeth.

She had to give him a visual cue on that one. Then, they worked on changing sentences to have an opposite meaning. There were 24 sentences. She needed to prompt him on 7 of them. An example of one of the seven is the sentence below.  

What time does Jane's plane leave?

He said pass, which is incorrect.  She explained that leave also means depart.  He should have answered with arrive.

The last thing they worked on was comparing. SJ had to listen to three things and then say what they have in common.  There were 18 items.  He only had difficulty with 2 of them. One of those two was the following.

Puppy, kitten, lamb

He answered farm animals.  True, they can all live on a farm, but they are actually animal babies.  

She told me she also reminded him to take turns when he is talking to people.  Sometimes (well most times) he is a conversation hog.  This is an ongoing skill.
