Denzel's become more aware of different days and times and although he has no speech yet, he has come to know the day on which he attends the centre. His attention span has improved from a couple of minutes to about ten to fifteen minutes on an activity and occasionally longer. Furthermore, he is able to act on instructions within a sentence whereas in the past he was only able to comprehend single word expressions. Denzel now conducts himself much better within a group setting than previously. He is much more likely to stay and work with a group rather than wander off; something he was prone to doing a few years ago. Denzel now readily acknowledges his peers without prompts. The encouragement and attention that Denzel has received from staff and volunteers has helped him gain more confidence, especially when attempting new challenges.
