Living With Autism: Day 35

One of Carson's goals this quarter is to touch his toes with NVI — non verbal imitation. He is doing well with it but still needs prompting.

Carson has a difficult time comprehending what is said to him. He understands a few key words but not full sentences.
He now understands come here, take off shoes, pull up pants and a few others.

With NVI we say to Carson "do this" and then we do what we want him to imitate. We usually will have to prompt him a few times until he gets it on his own.

The picture below is of Carson clapping when I said "do this"
