"Afternoon - By Katie
Dylan was motivated by puzzles, playing with snow, the gym, playing the piano, the sensory room, and playing with water. With that motivation we worked on pairing with peers and staff, following safety instructions, using eye contact, appropriately gaining attention (vocally and physically), rolling a ball, following one step directions, cleaning up after activities, parallel play with peers, waiting, and relinquishing items. He had maladaptive behaviors for the function of access and escape. This looked like flopping, crying, attempting to head bang, and pinching. The effective intervention used was giving choices and prompting functional communication. Something Dylan did well today was parallel play. He was able to sit and play with a bucket of snow with his peers for an extended period of time.
Mid-Morning - By Cindy
Dylan was motivated by the hula hoop and a Frisbee. We used the hula hoop for interacting with staff and we used the Frisbee to help with transitions from one location to another. He exhibited some head banging behaviors on the arm of staff, for the function of access when it was time to transition away from an activity. The intervention was to give him choices of other activities by showing him items he could choose from. He did well transitioning from room to room.
Dylan was motivated by throwing balls in the air, tickles, being chased, and swinging. With that motivation we worked on pairing, gaining attention appropriately, following safety directions (hold my hand, wait, stop and come here), cleaning up and following directions. Dylan had maladaptive behavior for the function of escape/access that looked like attempting to elope, and head bang. The effective intervention for head banging was to give him squeezes on his head throughout the session and block his eloping. Something Dylan did well today was showing me he was ready to leave an area. He would go to hold my hand or clean up the activity he was doing. He also did well requesting to "go". Dylan ate a few gold fish and a string cheese for snack."

"Afternoon- By Mikayla
Dylan was motivated by hula hoops, a timer, the sensory room, and dumping a bin of balls from the ball pit. With that motivation we worked on pairing, transitions, following directions, Manding for desired items and actions, and going to the bathroom. He had maladaptive behaviors for the function of access and escape. This looked like flopping and eloping. The effective intervention was prompting Dylan back to the original spot of elopement and to follow directions. We also used a timer to visual show Dylan how much time was left at a specific task (approximately two minutes.) Something he did well today was engaging in a game of dumping the balls in the ball pit. With some prompting, Dylan helped fill a bin full of balls. When it was full, he sat in the ball pit and echoed an approximation of "dump." The balls were then dumped on Dylan. He ate goldfish.
Mid-morning - By Bailey
Dylan was motivated by being pushed in the rolling chair, playing on the teeter totter, playing with play dough. He was also motivated by building towers with blocks then knocking them over. He was motivated by playing musical instruments, being pushed in the swing, playing in the ball pit, and being tickled. With that motivation we worked on pairing, following one step directions, following safety instructions, and rolling and throwing the ball. He had maladaptive behaviors for the function of escape. This looked like attempting to elope. The effective intervention was priming him with a timer. Something Dylan did well today was he did a great job throwing the balls in the ball pit. He also did a good job with the safety instruction "hold my hand".
Morning -By Blia
Dylan was motivated by swinging, the sensory room, gym, a car, and ball. With that motivation we worked on paring, following directions, appropriate ways of gaining attention, holding hands, vocally imitating push, and rolling a ball standing up. He had maladaptive behaviors for the function of access. This looked like eloping and falling on the ground. The effective intervention was a blocking response, and helping him to follow through with the direction. Something he did well today was appropriately taking my hand if he wanted to leave the room or carry him on my back. He ate some gold fish crackers."
Brandon and I have both got a kick out of this because we can just envision how he is flopping to the floor, head banging their arm, or trying to elope, ha ha. Dylan did make me feel good when I dropped him off the second day! We just drive up to the door and a lady comes out to see who is there and radios to whomever will have Dylan for the morning, that person then comes to get him from the car, so nice! Well I got him out of his car seat and was waiting for them to come, so he climbed on my back. A lady came out to get him so I got him down and told him bye. The lady asked him to give her five but instead he waved to her and grabbed her hand. I told him bye and then he reached for my hand. I walked a little way with them and told him bye again and he waved to me, but then reached for my hand again. I told him I had to go as they got to the door and let go of his hand. He continued to reach out for me, but wasn't sad, so I told him bye and I love him and will see him later. That made me feel good that he actually wanted me!!
