Behavioral (ABA) Therapy - August 8, 2008

Today JT started off in a grouchy mood with Miss Amy, due to the fact he had just woken up from his nap. However, after a few minutes he was ready to play and in a great mood.
He jumped over two tubes, imitating Miss Amy perfectly. They played in his room for a while, and Miss Amy put some play cookies in a ball with holes in it. She was impressed that not only would he get the cookie out, figuring out in the process which holes were big enough to fit the cookies through, but also that he released them after he retrieved them into a play jar. He was imitating her very well throughout their session, and was in a good mood.

Other notes: Miss Amy called me into his room due to a 'blank stare' at one point during the session that worried her. He was very involved in the cookie/ball game, and all of a sudden just blanked out. She gently poked his nose (natural reaction is to blink for a child if they're just staring) and he didn't blink. He resumed play after about half a minute.
