Speech Day!

Today Monster had speech therapy, with B. We go once a month.
B is a speech pathologist in the community centre, and she's been really great with Monster, he's quite drawn to her compared to our old speechie, K, who I really got along with.
Today we got some new vocab sheets to work on and we're working on promoting choices again, extending the words used in the choices - so "red apple or green grapes", "red apple or red grapes" and "red apple or green apple" are all valid options, different part 1 + different part 2, different part 2 + same part 1 or different part 1 + same part 2. We've been doing one word choices for ages now, and started spontaneously extending it recently, so B thinking its a good idea definitely tells me that we're heading in the right direction - both Monster + I (plus my Mr) and as a team with B.

We reused yesterday's yellow goop, complete with choices with words Monster doesn't normally use - sticky or smooth, bumpy, runny or pastey, drip and the normal ones - yellow and cold. Today rather than just putting his feet in it, he ended up sitting in it!
