Martha: Are there any comments or chats?

Joan: There is a comment here from Joey: “How important it is to be purposeful in building 

control and choice into interaction. Control and choice are what everybody wants; even 

nonverbal children with autism want choice and control.

Mark says: There is visible improvement in her comfort as the session progressed.

Martha: Great.

Joan: Yes, you can see it happening quickly. Seany says, “I liked how the lady behind said she 

benefited from being the marker. I feel like that when tagging my daughter. 

Joan: Theresa says, “This is for the teacher just as much as it is for the learner.

Martha: Yes, all great comments.

Paige and Dog: Here is an example of using a shoulder tap instead of an acoustical marker. Paige has an intense fear of dogs as a result of being severely bitten. This is a session with a real dog after much therapy.
