The assessment reveals that Vera exhibits difficulties in:
1) Responding to Why questions by giving a reason (e.g. now I’m going to ask you why we do some things- Why do we wear shoes?)
2) Responding to specific WHEN questions by answering appropriate answers (When do we call fire station?)
3) Identifying words that rhyme (e.g. give rhyming word of sun, fan etc.)
4) Inconsistencies were evident in understanding and expressing past irregular tense
5) Inconsistencies were evident in expressing future tense.
6) Repeating age appropriate long and complex sentences.
7) Understanding and expressing different derivational nouns (derivational nouns-e.g. singer and adjectives e.g. lucky)
8) Understanding and expressing quantity concepts and time/sequence concepts (e.g. half, whole, first, last)

Vera demonstrates appropriate nonverbal communication skills with the clinician; which includes: appropriate eye contact, socially modulated gaze and appropriate facial expressions. She is able to produce and respond to questions and communicative prompts set forth by the clinician. Vera’s attention span, sitting behavior and compliance are good in the individual sessions. She can sustain attention for an appropriate amount of time as the work demands. However, she sometimes avoids the task by looking away, a verbal reminder or other prompts is often required to facilitate work flow. She benefits from working for reinforcement, and the token economy. The token economy usually works well in facilitating her attention and focus. Vera asks for help when she finds tasks difficult and is able to imitate the clinician’s
