Video 2 - counting


Goal - to count out the amount of items for each page


Outcome - Ashton didn’t show much interest in counting out how many items he needed for each page. He was able to identify what pictures went on each page however didn’t count them out, I tried to encourage Ashton to count them out by starting off the counting. He showed interest in making megazord out of vegetables and penguins.

Video 3 - letter recognition


Goal - to identify the beginning sound of each word


Outcome - I cut out each of the pictures rather than they all be in one page, to make it a bit easier for Ashton to identify each letter. At first first I asked Ashton to circle the letter that makes the sound of the beginning letter however he didn’t show Much interest in That. I then asked Ashton to point to the letter instead to make it a bit easier.

Goal - to match the picture cards to the picture mat.


Outcome - Ashton was able to match all the pictures he was presented with to the pictures on the matching mat.

Goal - to receptively identify action verbs in pictures when give the cue, "give me ..."


Outcome - Ashton was able to give me each action picture as I requested it. He showed that he understood each action as he handed most of them to me very promptly and this showed me he recognised the actions. I went to do a second set of five action cards with Ashton, but he went to get upset so I asked him if he was all done and we packed away.

Goal - to play memory match to make pairs.

Goal - to find the correct zoo animal when presented with four options.


Outcome - Ashton did a great job when playing the at the zoo memory match. During this game we made animal noises and even combined together to make ourselves into the animals we saw on the memory match cards. Ashton showed he has a great memory and matched the animal cards with ease. It was fun to interact with Ashton to make the animals noises. Next up Ashton played find it and he had to find the correct animal when presented with four options. Ashton did a great job and was able to find most of the animals on the first turn.









Chantelle Burns Nanny : 30/10/20 Video 4 - Osmo (math wizard)

Goal - to follow the instructions to make a shrinking potion. (number recognition and addition)


Outcome - Today we played math wizard on osmo and I took Ashton back down to an easier level to continue practicing simple addition. Ashton enjoyed playing math wizard, although he was a little cheeky today and wasn't always adding up the total. It was clear this was Ashton being playful as I believe he is capable of adding these small numbers usually. With my assistance Ashton experienced success with this app today.

Counting and feeding dinosaurs




Chantelle Burns Nanny : 24/10/20 Video 1 - Dice game

Goal - to roll the dice and find the number on the wooden panel. (number recognition)


Outcome - Today I decided to try our new dice game with Ashton. I initially wanted to keep it simple by taking turns and recognising numbers. I decided to go first so Ashton could see what to do, however Ashton had his own agenda when it came to this activity and our turn taking didn't last very long. While we did play Ashton was able to recognise the numbers.




Chantelle Burns Nanny : 24/10/20 Video 2 - Time 4 Learning (weather)

Goal - to select the correct weather item when presented with four options.


Outcome - Ashton wasn't very keen to do Time 4 Learning today so I kept it short and we only did one activity. This activity required Ashton to select the correct weather item out of four options and he was able to do this sometimes. When Ashton focused on the question being asked he would select the right item.




Chantelle Burns Nanny : 24/10/20 Video 3 - Osmo (math wizard)

Goal - to follow the instructions to make a growing and shrinking potion. (number recognition and addition)


Outcome - Today we continued with the math wizard potion making game. We started on level three today and this level was harder as we had to choose the correct number when presented with multiple options. Even though Ashton needed a little help with this part today he did a great job following the instructions. We had to switch between potion ingredients today and Ashton was able to do this when I gave him instructions. Despite today being harder for Ashton we were able to work together to make the potions.









Speech therapy

Ashton was a little pushy and loud today. May look at zones of proximal regulation to help him.
