General Probe of SD3 found that he spontaneously “got it” and hit it throughout sessions.

 

General Comments and locations show that these targets were hit at 100% even when newly introduced.    They were done on the floor, at the park, at a hospital, at tutor’s apartments, during play dates, at McDonalds, during worksheets.  The tutors also probed other adjectives and found that they were not a pr oblem so we did not enter them into the target sheet.  Any “non 100%” drills often were followed by a tutor comment that they targeted it in an awkward way and so he was more confused by the answer they wanted than by him not understanding.  All of these were introduced immediately into random rotation.
