Nick (14/10/06)

Hi, Nick was pretty ok, was abit non complaince
towards the end of the session.

MI: I had opened 1 step, 3 references for lego. He was not
too bad. He just needs to look. Pre writing was getting
better, able to grip the pencil nicely.

EL: Opened some new ones too ie opening, closing. He
was good at his current EL.

RI: He was not really good with Operation + Attributes.
He didnt listen properly ie when i said " shake the small
bottle", he would just get a bottle and shake but not the
small. Even when i prompted him, he still did it. Attention
not so good.

Category: He has mastered toys, furniture and clothes.

Naming: I tried this. I started by asking to tell me
just 1. He could do it with body parts. He needs to understand
he has to tell me.

GKR: He did well with this as he was looking carefully and
picking up the right one.

Function: Opened chair/sitting.

Sequencing: He doesnt have much problem with this.

Compliance: I tried the new programs in compliance. He
did well with the "mastered instructions with door opened"
It was done at the start of the session so maybe he was still
ok. As for the "putting token at 0.5m with distractors", he was good
too except towards the end of the seesion when he would run to his bed
after putting the token.

PLay: He could now put 4 pieces of puzzle. well done

Ivan (13/10/06)

Hi, he was not too bad on Friday. He got all his ticks
to go to the park but he said he doesnt want to go. I
asked him whether want to do anything, he said no so
we spent the last 15 minutes chatting.

Independent work: did 2 easy worksheets today, got
2/10 for the first and 8/10 for the second, not that bad.
He for the 4 square token and chose to play Blokus.

Play: Blokus was not bad, he could spread around the board.

Directing: I made him direct me in playing Blokus. He was
not really good at it, needed prompts.

Toileting: Good, ask to go toilet.

Ettiquette: He tends to miss some step when he said it ie
washing hands, flush the toilet. However, he could do it
when he went to the toilet.

Describing: He did not really want to describe the pictures.
He only did it after some time of persuasion.

Reported speech: He liked this and he was good at it too.
I let him choose who is saying ie "i want to eat ice cream", said William.

Storytelling: This was not good. When i tried doing this, he started
his nonsense, threw things at me, mainly task avoidance. In the end,
we didnt do this.

Beside all these, he was fine.

Updates on Nick (07/10/06)

Hi, Nick was pretty good on Saturday except for times
when he fussed because of programs that are hard for him ie
GKR.

EL: He was doing well for this. I had told dad to make the
pictures for the EL in the program. However, he has difficulty
in pronouncing the the words nicely sometimes.

MI: He was really good with the 2 references point for the lego.
As for his pre- writing (drawing vertical line), i can see that
he is doing better. At least now he tried to make an effort to
draw a vertical line but still needed me to hold his hand and
he was not using much strength.

Function: Great at this, doing sleeping/pillow right now. Needed
prompting at the start but after that he was doing great.

RI: I did give to xxx today. He was not really good, ran to the
other room when he gave the object instead of sitting back to
his chair. However, 1 step + color (ooc) was good.

Preposition: Still not very good at this saying expressively.
The main problem was that he said it to fast and not clear
so i couldnt really hear whether what he said was right. I'm
placing the word "under" as prompt.

Category: He could do it if he was looking carefully.

GKR: He was quite inconsistent with these. There were times
when he could do it really well and times when he kept on
giving the same card when i already said it was not the same.
He needs to look carefully.

Sequencing: Had opened new progam "sequencing completion". He was
pretty good at sequencing the lego but not the puzzles. As for routines
sequencing, he was doing well.

Play: We can start teaching "bedrock bowling" and "slap happy". Air
slammer was good as usual.

that's all.

Ivan Supervision's notes (06/10/06)

These are my supervision notes on Ivan:

Toileting : New program has been opened for this. Make him drink at least 2 litres of water per session (the tumbler), to be finished half an hour before session. As for now, we just have to remind him that that he can
go to toilet anytime during the session when he is drinking. There is
another program which is the steps to toileting. He has to say the steps.

Independent Work: For the square token, we can ask him what he wants first and
write it at the back of the the board cause there are times whereby he chooses
some irrelevant things ie read textbook when he got all 4 square.

Storytelling: For this, we start telling the whole story. We could
ask questions along the way. Give him a tick when we finished the story and
answered the questions nicely. After that, ask him to tell you back the story, now we draw pictures (6 pictures)of the story for him as prompt with words at the pictures ie One day, batman...., next...,last... He is given a tick at the end of this. Then made him say the story again without the pictures. Give him a tick for each picture he says so he will get a total of 8 ticks if he does everything nicely.

Directing: For this, we could get pictures and he is to tell us to draw the same
pictures by giving us direction ie draw a house on the center of the paper.....

Coversation: Can move the a more natural setting whereby he can ask whatever he wants
but must be appropriate (relevant) with the content.

Reported speech : We can check all the examples at the primary school grammar book.
This is how it is done, for example, 'Help!', shouted Mary. He has to say Mary shouted for help. All these are done written down. He just has to say and we
wrote it down.

Blokus: new program opened. He has to move the tiles all over the board now.

Updates on Nick's session (30/09/06)

Hey all, Nick was pretty good today, quite ok
with the new programs too.

MI:did lego with the 2 reference point, he was so much better
now. I also did pre writing skill (drawing vertical line).
He needed prompts for this and he doesn't really hold the
pencil correctly but he's ok with me holding his hand and
draw the line.

EL: I had opened new words for this program ie laughing,
looking, smelling, thinking. I had also told dad to
get the pictures of some of the words on the tracking form.

RI: I did the out of room 'give to xxx'. He was really
good for the 1st two trials, gave the objects to his
daddy/mummy and came back to sit down. But the following
trials, he ran around the room so had to cut the trials.

Operation + Obj: Opened new program 'touch xxx', not bad for this.
I also did this out of chair too.

GKR: He was not really good with the SD 'Find the same' so i actually
promted him by saying ie 'Find the furniture'. He could do this and then
i emphasized it's the same and asked him to 'Find the same'

Preposition: Doing expressively now. I placed the words 'on' and
'under' as prompt. Also he tends to say it fast so sometimes i couldnt
really hear whether he was saying 'on' or 'under'.

Play: His dad had bought the SLAP HAPPY. I tried playing it with him, he
was pretty good at it, could slap the right colour and seems to enjoy it too.

That's all
cheers
