Notes: He used the couch to stand himself up two times and crawled on his hands and knees without assistance. He stood while holding on to the table in the living room and took

alternating steps on his own. He seemed tired today and was not very motivated to crawl. When we used the paint brushes, he gripped them correctly and was able to accurately dip

them in the water and paint on the paper. He would sometimes bring the paint brushes up to his mouth like he would if he was feeding himself. His mom said he signed “more”

last week several times. He didn’t want to grip the spoon to feed himself and pouted when we didn’t help him. He drank from a bottle without any handles today.
Impression:
This intervention went well this week. Though it isn’t one of Porter’s goals, he worked on pulling himself up to the couch and cruising along with
both of his feet. We also tried a new activity of water painting so that Porter could work on his self-feeding goal.

Objective Description of Data and Observations:

As always, we start with crawling to help get energy out at the first of the session. Katie was the lead teacher today, and was able to place her hand
under Porter and just gently support him. I was also able to engage Porter in this way, and he was able to do it on his own with my hand just
hovering underneath him. The other strategy that worked well was to use my keys and other noise-makers above Porter’s eye level. This helped
him look up and push himself up into a crawling position. Mom also reported that Porter was able to start crawling up the stairs. This is great
practice for his core strength. Porter mostly needed gesturing with a hand under him but not supporting him. This helped him remember to stay on
his hands and knees.
Porter worked on signing drink while he was eating. Porter loves to drink water so that is enough motivation to engage him in the activity. Porter
is able to do this by verbal and model prompting. He was then able to do this action spontaneously. We would take the cup and place it on the
table so that it was still in his sight. Then when Porter would want a drink, we would ask him to by modeling or verbal prompts to request his
drink.
Porter was also able to improve on his self-drinking goal. Porter was able to drink out of a cup without handles. He was still able to do this without
any prompting. This was really exciting because Porter has been using handles up until now. He has been using this in nightly routines before bed.
On Porter’s last goal of self-feeding and spoon-feeding. Porter was able to do this on all levels of support and prompting. Again, eating is enough
engagement for him in the activity. We did a water painting activity in which we gave Porter some paintbrushes and let him color with water. He
practiced his fine motor skills of gripping and lifting the paintbrush into the water and painting with it.

Assessment and Evaluation:

For the first goal of crawling, Porter made great progress on this goal because he was able to crawl for three to four steps several times
independently. Porter was also able to do it by merely gesturing. This gesture is only a hand hovering under his belly. However, we did begin with
partial physical and lifting him up under his core to help support him. I felt that the progression from partial physical, to gesture, to spontaneous
was very helpful for Porter and necessary to his success because he needed the physical reminder of what the task was before he could do it
independently. With any level of prompting, Porter was able to be successful eight out of twelve times. However, Porter was successful based on
his IEP criteria 41% of the times that he attempted his goal. This was incredibly exciting because we have not seen Porter crawl on an independent
level yet.
With signing the word drink, Porter was able to do this on a modeling, verbal, gesture, and spontaneous prompt level. Again, it is important to
help Porter remember his tasks by more intrusive prompting first. With any level of prompting, Porter was able to be successful nine out of ten
times. However, Porter was successful based on his IEP criteria 30% of the times that he attempted his goal. I am hoping that we can start moving
to an even less intrusive level of only verbally prompting. This will promote more communication between him and begin connecting those signs
with meaning.

Porter did even better with spoon-feeding this week. He was able to be successful on mostly partial physical and spontaneous levels. The partial
physical involved putting food on the spoon so that Porter could lift it and put the spoon in his mouth. He was able to do all of these steps on his
own; however, we mostly focused on lifting the spoon and getting food into his mouth. With any level of prompting, Porter was able to be
successful five out of seven times. However, Porter was successful based on his IEP criteria 42% of the times that he attempted his goal. I think
the partial physical is a great way to start so that Porter doesn’t get too frustrated from being hungry; however, he is still working on his grasp and
spatial awareness.

Porter’s last goal of drinking independently is going well as always. Not only is being successful with drinking from a cup with handles; Porter
was able to drink out of a cup without any handles. We were able to watch Porter successfully drink from a cup without handles six different times
during lunch. Porter needs no prompting and is able to drink on his own accord. Since there is no prompting needed here, its important that we
don’t give physical prompting when he drops the cup and allow him to get it on his own to practice more self help skills.

Our teams’ performance went well in working together. We each took a job of either the lead, support of the lead, or data collector so that we
weren’t overwhelming for Porter. I was able to be the data collector for the week, and I was able to watch both of my peers work with Porter. I
was able to collaborate and discuss what kinds of prompts they were using and what kind of responses we were getting.
The goals and activities were appropriate this week because we found that they are applicable to what the mother wants to work on and are also
DAP according to the milestones.

Plan:
For our last week, we will be working on Porters goal of crawling by beginning with partial physical and moving our way up to an independent
level. We will be using the technique of helping him crawl whenever he wants to move somewhere. We will also try to keep his focus up by toys
and mom voice above his eye level.
We will also be working on signing by modeling and verbal prompting during playtime and meals. We found that if we practice this goal
throughout the intervention, we have more opportunities for prompting and can use signing in different aspects of Porter’s occupational tasks.
Lastly, we will continue to work on Porter’s goal of spoon feeding. Our water painting activity really helped Porter work on this motion so we will
continue to do that next week.
