Data: Technician worked with DZ in the home for an hour. DZ was asked
to choose an activity and used expressive language to select blocks. Technician
controlled the number of blocks so DZ would be required to verbally mand for
more. DZ reached for blocks, TSS redirected with a verbal prompt requiring DZ
to mand for more blocks. DZ successfully manded. DZ was given a two-minute
warning to transition to homework. With little resistance, after two minutes,
DZ transitioned to working on homework with Technician and was given a
consumable reinforcer. DZ completed homework which included verbally
identifying numbers and writing them. After homework was completed, Technician
presented a scanning activity using a puzzle. Technician prompted DZ to
verbally identify (tact) objects in a puzzle piece and then find its match. DZ
was able to complete the task with no redirection, so Technician faded prompts;
Technician provided verbal praise throughout the activity. Technician used
visual cues to encourage DZ to share with his siblings. Gestural prompts were given to make eye
contact and Technician modeled the appropriate verbalizations; DZ then
exhibited receptive verbal skills and imitation skills when sharing with
siblings.DZ was given a consumable reinforcer after each trial, and, although
exhibited some resistance through verbal complaints, was able to engage in
joint attention with Technician throughout the discrete trials.
Assessment: DZ successfully displayed expressive and receptive language skills. DZ was able to transition to activities with little to no resistance and responded to both verbal praise and other reinforcements given. Throughout the session, DZ also displayed imitation skills.
Plan: For the next session we will continue to work on expressive and receptive language along with functional communication.
