Therapist: Ong Shu Zhen
Focus: Speaking with the right volume 1-4
Pretend Play
Shu Zhen taught Gabriel how to play and speak with the correct volume when at different places and situations. She explained that it is like a volume TV remote control.
Volume 1- whisper when telling secrets, in the library
Volume 2- when talking to someone just in front of you or when in the car
Volume 3- when calling out to someone who is somewhat quite far away.
Volume 4 - shouting loudly when at a very noisy place
Part 2, Shu Zhen demonstrated how pretend play works. How to be a doctor an check on the patient.
Gabriel was rather hesitant but with much prompt and encouragement, he did it rather well. First time grandma came along to watch how therapy sessions are carried out.
Although Gabriel did a good job pretending to be a doctor, he told me later that he didn't enjoy it and do not like to play in this manner. So I asked if he would like to pretend to be a policeman, and he said that he didn't mind, a soldier too.
