Impression:

This week went alright. The part of the intervention that was the most successful was when we worked on Logan being able to write his name.
This week we decided to print out a nametag for Logan so that he would be able to see his name so he could look at it while he was trying to write
it with the shaving cream. He traced all of the letters on the nametag which is exactly what we were aiming for. The rest of the intervention
session was based on him taking turns. This part of the intervention didn’t really go as we had originally planned. Logan was pretty withdrawn the
rest of the time. We noticed that there are some times during our intervention where Logan just goes into his own little world. We put out blocks
for him to play with and he would slowly work his way so that his back was facing us and he wouldn’t have to interact with us. When we would
try to play with him or take turns with him he would show some irritation and start shaking. We would take that as our cue to stop trying to
interfere with his play.

Objective Description of Data and Observations:


For this week’s intervention session, we used our routine of going in and playing with shaving cream right away. Logan grabbed the bag as soon
as we got there and dumped it out. He grabbed the shaving cream and the bowls and went straight to the table. We followed him and made him
sign please before we gave him some shaving cream to play with. Logan jumped into tracing the letters of his name right away and spontaneously
traced all of the letters of his name on the name tag. We then had the goal of Logan verbally telling us that he wanted more. In previous sessions,
Logan would sign that he wanted more shaving cream, so we decided that we would target him saying the word more instead. When we tried to
get Logan to say more, he didn’t have any response the first couple of tries. I then pointed to my mouth and tried to have him look and see what
the formation looked like. Logan paid attention but when he responded, he said the “P” sound instead. We decided that next time we may just
have him try to say “please” since he can already say the beginning sound.

Assessment and Evaluation:


When it comes to writing the letters of his name, Logan got a 30% accuracy rating. Logan spontaneously traced the letters of his name, but when
prompted, Logan had no response for many of the prompts. Logan only played with the shaving cream at this activity for about 2 minutes which
affected the success of this activity. When it came to taking turns, Logan scored a 30%. He took some turns when we were building with blocks
and knocking them over. He then became a bit more withdrawn and didn’t show as much interest in playing alongside either of us. This week we
worked really well as a team in coming up with ideas that may be more engaging for Logan. We are constantly working to better our interventions
so that we can have a higher success rate.

Plan:
For our next visit with Logan, we decided that we are going to bring food coloring for the shaving cream. We think that this should help keep him
engaged and we can use more descriptive language with him so that we can help him to develop those words and add to his vocabulary as well.
We want to work on turn-taking with him, and by doing this we are going to set up a mini obstacle course in their living room and have him
practice taking turns going through the obstacle course. We will play alongside with him and have him try to verbalize his wants and needs as
well.
