De-structuring was quite a fun program to do

I did this new program, De-structuring with Johnny today. This program is basically to make the whole therapy session less structured. Initially, Johnny's sessions were always very structured as he was a really rigid boy. However, from this month onwards, we are going to de-structuring the whole therapy session. This is very important as we all know that in real life, it's not that structured.

Normally, his session would be held in his room but for today, i brought him out to the garden and did some programs there. In fact, i was bringing him in and out of his room to the garden (it was good exercise for him and me). Unexpectedly, he was pretty ok with it. It was quite fun too as it was more natural in a way (that we moved around in the house). It was also so funny to see him getting all his tokens when he rushed into his room to get his reinforcer.

Beside de-structuring, i also did the 'pointing program' whereby he has to see where i'm pointing at get the objects for me. He was pretty good at that too. Awesome!! Hope that he will be able to maintain or even improve when we start to de-structure more=)
