Richard was greeted in his room. He used the restroom for the first 10 minutes of the session. Richard appeared well rested and focused during today's session. After going over the orientation task (date/month/year), Richard requested to start the session with a "Llama Llama" book, which is the series we have been working on the last two weeks. Following the book being read aloud, Richard answered simple "wh" questions about what was read to him which he answered with 80% accuracy. In addition to auditory comprehension, Richard demonstrated difficulty with awareness of appropriate rate of speech, requiring moderate cues. We discussed topic maintenance and initiation as Richard has a tendency to frequently start conversation with "except" (i.e. "except I have this book at home"). Both /s/ and /s/ blends in all positions were targeted in connected speech. We went back to discussing placement of tongue and where the air should be escaping and there were a few instances of lateral /s/ noted (air escaping the side of his mouth, rather than the front). /s/ at the final position of words is continuing to be dropped in situations where possessives and plurals are used.
