Math
* Continuing from our observations from last week, I focused on ordering exercises (from least to greatest, smallest to biggest, etc). I found that the most effective and engaging exercises for Raf were ones that involved physical objects (ex: coins or cars). Another good tool would be to use playing cards.
**What exercises and, specifically, what numeracy skills should we address with Raffy?** Please post suggestions!
After work, we drove to the Zone for some bowling. In the past, he's just bowled the entire game (for both our turns) but I explained to him that we have to take turns and showed him how to tell from the overhead TV. He was good with it! He also loves to play in the arcade and went to exchange his loonie (which he had been holding all day) right when we got into the bowling place.
We had lunch at Subway and the girl working there was very nice, asking him what vegetables he would like on his sandwich. He didn't explicitly say what veggies he wanted, but when prompted, he would say "yes" or "no" which I thought was really cool... From this, I think that in all situations, we should try to find a way to allow Raf to independently interact by modifying the situation or environment. In this example, the subway employee changed how she would normally take the order, and it allowed him to personalize his sandwich independently!
