Improvements

Here are some of Kevin's latest accomplishments:

"Mommy push play" on his movie.
"I want go Grandmama house"
"Shirt off" so he could take a bath

And he retells his entire Cordoroy's Halloween book!! His retelling includes words like
"Puppy is ghost. Bear is witch. Knock Knock. Ding Dong. Candy."

He's using words more consistently when we tell him to use his words. He is able to use words under stress much better than he use to.
And he makes choices about behavior- instead of hitting, he will put his hand on my face and say "That's right. No hitting. Gentle touch." He will also tell us sometimes that he is mad.


Overall, Kevin's language now includes constant labeling, some jargon, frequent requesting, and the occasional showing. He is consistently putting together 2-3 word phrases on his own, using words together that have not previously been modeled for him.
