In social skills group this week, we read A Tree Can Be and each student created their own trees. Students then engaged in a conversation garden activity, collecting different colored flowers for making a follow-up comment or asking a follow-up question to keep the conversation going. At the end of the conversation, students were then able to see a visual representation of whether they had made more comments or asked more questions so they could know what to try in their next conversation.

Successful preschool and K-2 social skills groups yesterday! We used our visual picture schedule, greeted one another, sequenced the events in a story, had a stretch break, and played getting to know you bingo!

Can you identify one or more therapeutic strategies being utilized in this session? Comment with your thoughts.

This student has been working for many years on correcting phonological error patterns in addition to struggling with apraxia of speech. What you can't see in this video are the visual cues I was providing to the student. This was a word his family shared he was struggling with as, he is learning fractions. He was so proud of himself, he called his mom after the session, so she could hear how great he sounded.

The first clip is from the start, second clip is towards the end
