Marcel was a little stressed from other factors not related to speech therapy. We discussed some coping/problem solving strategies for getting through the stressful time. It was emphasized, that speech therapy should not be a stressor for him. He agreed and said it was not. He just had other things on his mind. He said he felt better and was ready to tackle our /R/ sounds. He liked the coarticulation exercised from the previous session so we reviewed those. Copies of the exercises were texted to him for home practice.
