Funny Area Follow-Up- Wow!

We wrote about how a ‘funny area’ helped a student communicate more frequently.  In the postscript at the end, we said that the student only asked for the ‘funny area’ once in a while.   Now we have a second postscript, the student asked for the ‘funny area’ yesterday. He had a lot of energy and definitely had the giggles.  To show he learned more with a communication high priority approach, Tommy quickly asked for the ‘funny glasses’ and ‘funny hat’ but then also went on to initiate telling of a joke for the first time!
