Today was such a fun & productive session for Richard. He was greeted by SLP in his room. He reportedly forgot his backpack at home. We started the session targeting /s/ and /s/ blends doing a book/craft activity. We read a book called "The Legend of Spooky the Square Pumpkin" (a fall themed activity). SLP read the book aloud, asking simple "wh" questions along the way. Richard answered 4/5 questions correctly. He thoroughly enjoyed this book. The book had over 20 opportunities to produce /s/ blends, in which he independently produced ~50% correct at conversational level! The other 50% required verbal cues which was effective. /s/ and /z/ during this was also targeted with cues. We made a pumpkin craft that Richard named "Sparkles" which is great to target /sp/. He LOVED this. We used paper, scissors, markers, glue and glitter. Beyond our seasonal book activity/craft, we targeted /z/ in all positions at the phrase level with the following independent accuracy: initial position, 70%, medial position, 60% and final position, 100%. He continues to make excellent strides in the area of articulation therapy. As previously stated, when he gets excited/tells a story - the frontal /s/ lisp in more prevalent however improves with verbal cues. Great session, Richard!!
