Two weeks ago, SJ had his bi-weekly speech therapy session. She said he did a very nice job. After she chatted with him for a few minutes about his week at school, she worked on "why" questions with him. He has difficulty at times reading people's expressions, so I thought this was a great activity for him to practice. He also doesn't understand sarcasm very well, so that can also be very problematic for him. (Bob can attest to that, especially since he is very sarcastic!)
She showed him some pictures and asked him two why questions about each picture. She said he had some trouble, but with prompting he was able to give an acceptable answer. For example: There was a picture of a boy looking at a broken vase on a table. He looked like he may have been crying. She asked him, "Why is the boy worried?" He responded with "because he is going to get in trouble". Then, she asked him "Why is the vase in pieces?" He said, "The boy must have broke it."
She worked on that topic for most of the session. She assigned him more picture cards for homework. He did okay with this homework assignment. He still needed an occasional prompt.
