Richard was greeted in his classroom on time by SLP. He was having difficulty with the mask that was provided by his father however assistance was provided to ensure safe coverage throughout the session. Richard was excited to report his fun weekend with his cousins. This was a great exercise to target rate of speech. Richard's rate of speech significantly increases and articulatory contact decreases with excitement. Richard continues to require verbal and visual cues to slow rate of speech however it tends to be very short term. He will slow rate of speech for a few words and immediately return to baseline rate of speech. We quickly reviewed the calendar as Richard is becoming more comfortable and familiar with this concept. Today, we heavily covered possessives and plurals in conversational speech and he tends to omit the "s" at the end of the word in these situations. Richard continues to demonstrate understanding in structured tasks however when we are at more advanced tasks (conversation), the final consonant if often omitted.
