Wow! What a great session Richard had today. He was greeted in the lobby, and walked back to his classroom with SLP. He was very motivated during the entire session. We started with our routine of going over the December calendar/days of week. He continues to show growth in this area. Following that, he requested auditory comprehension activities - which also targeted word finding and vocabulary. He answered 6/10 questions independently about the short passages read aloud. He was quite interested in this task, as he enjoyed talking about each story beyond the questions asked. We targeted /s/ and /s/ blends at the conversational level, at approx 90% accuracy (improvement). Although Richard's awareness of rate of speech has not significantly improved, his overall articulation and lingual placement has. Grammar & semantics were targeted throughout the session. Vocabulary and word finding tasks were the primary goals of today's therapy session, and RIchard was very involved and did well with this. He demonstrates self cueing as well as benefiting from external cues to "find words" that he "can't remember the name". Overall, today was an excellent session and it is a pleasure watching him grow in the the area of speech and language.
