We had one of those, "Oh, I get it" moments today!!
You know when the kids realize that their words or behavior has an immediate reward!
So we are sitting in speech therapy and Hannah has always gotten 'speech bucks' for saying things correctly, but she has never put the action of receiving the 'speech buck' together with her correct speech....
So today at the end of a long lesson on saying the 'R' sound, her last word is 'raisins', which is difficult with both the 'r' sound and the final 's' sound.
So Ms. Jennifer puts a speech buck on the pile and Hannah again says 'raisins'....watching the pile....Ms. Jennifer adds one....again the 'raisins'....watching the pile....seriously about 10 times....as her smile grows and grows!!!!
Connection made!!!!
I really wonder what next class will bring or if she will even remember!!!! But it was so fun to watch her 'get it' today!!!
And, no, the gift was not for speech class, but a gift from her cousins in Texas for her birthday. It is also a great gift for her learning if you do 'x' what will happen, so try something else to get the fish!!!

Hi Donna. I just started reading your blog lately. It's neat to hear about Hannah's progress. Looks like you all had fun at the zoo last week. Denis and I are heading to Salem this weekend.
