after school speech part 2

At Tuesday's speech therapy session, SJ's therapist again worked on conversational skills. She began the session with a Speaking Well activity.  She showed him a word bank and told him to select a topic and write three sentences you could say in a conversation.  He choose the following topics:  twins, report cards, cheating and video games.  She said he had some difficulty with this activity, so she asked we pick a few more topics to practice at home.  

Next, she did a Simple Word Association activity with him.  He did well with this activity. Here are a few of the associations.

Butterfly/caterpillar...a caterpillar turns into a butterfly

Basketball/H.O.R.S.E...use a basketball to play HORSE

Radio/music...radio plays music

She also asked that we do a few more simple word associations for homework.  Last, they did a Contingent Word activity.  She said he really enjoyed this activity.  Here is the sequence.

Vacation-fun times-friends-play games-winner-trophy-balls-nets-soccer-kicking-fighting-injuries-hospital-cast-itchy-scratching-cat-yarn-sweater-warmth-fire-hot chocolate-marshmallows

She suggested we try this activity again before the next session, possibly in the car.
