Richard was in a great mood and requested to play the memory game from last session. He was proud that he was ready to work and had already had a snack. In connected speech, when Richard is excited and speaking quickly, he often drops sounds in words. Addressing his pace of speech, with some recordings comparing fast "racer" speech vs "slow, strong" speech, Richard was able to see the difference. He worked hard at applying these strategies during the session. Richard is also producing a strong /s/ sound in spite of the recent missing tooth. He has worked hard at getting tongue placement just right. To get some fresh air, Richard joined the short recess with the other students outside. He enjoyed the social interaction. A peer was cheating during the outside play and Richard did not like it. During the last 15 minutes of speech therapy, during a game of "Sorry", Richard was being a little "tricky" and moving his pawn extra spaces. It lead to a productive conversation about being honest and how it's not fun to play with friends/classmates who don't play by the rules.
