Speech eval and paint


Yesterday Mommy and Daddy met with my Speech teacher, Mrs. Sharon.  I will read to you the results of the meeting:

"Dexter is able to produce the following sounds in words: /p/ 100%, /m/ 100%, /b/ 72%, /n/ 100%, /t/ 100%, /d/ 72%, /k/ 87%, /s/ 35%, /f/ 100%, /sh/ 65%, /l/ 60%, /w/ 87% and /s/ blends 41%.  During classroom conversation he was able to use intelligible speech 80% of the time."  Then she compared my pre-test to my post-test following the 16 weeks of speech therapy. 
"Test #1 HAPP-3:  A test where you show pictures of words and I tell you the word.  The first time I made 110 pronunciation errors, the second time I only made 60.
Test #2 Intelligibility: The first time I was only understood 30% of the time, now 80% of the time.
Test #3 Avg sentence length: First time 1.5 words, now 3.9 words.
Recommendation:  Dexter has made good gains in his speech sound development.  A big change that positively impacted his intelligibility was correctly using stressed and unstressed vowel sounds.  He continues to use the following processes: consonant cluster reduction and liquid simplification."




Today I stayed home with mommy and we went to the city library (can't go to the base library any more - thanks budget cuts)  We just happened to be there when they were having story time for 3-5 year olds.  They read books about bubbles and then we had an art project where we painted on bubble wrap.

That report is interesting. Now you know what to focus on. Your public library seems nice. Xoxonanaxoxo

I'm glad you have learned so many new speech sounds and words this year. My speech and hearing students will love the update :)
