1 - LTO: Expressive Language: Steven Murphy will independently label pictures of common objects, actions, or people correctly with 80% accuracy over three consecutive therapy sessions.

Rationale for LTO: Based on Steven’s CELF-2 subtest scores for expressive language, expressive vocabulary results were below normal limits and thus in the ninth percentile ranking. These scores proved expressive vocabulary to be an area of concern for expressive language and therefore, should be targeted in therapy. Also, due to Steven’s difficulty in expressing his thoughts and ideas through spontaneous conversation, expanding his overall expressive vocabulary may aid in facilitating development of his functional expressive skills.

    Dean Schulte Case Summary

    Over the course of nine sessions at the clinic, Dean worked on consonant sequences in /st/, /sl/, /fl/, and /bl/ and velars (/k/ and /g/). The session objectives were adjusted as Dean showed competence in producing target sounds, but lack of carryover into conversation. Dean recently used a self-monitoring chart to increase his awareness of accurate speech sounds and to slow his rate of speaking. He marked the chart each time he said the following target sounds correctly: /k/, /sl/, /bl/ and /fl/. This activity was motivating for Dean since a special treat was received after the completion of the chart.…

    Informal assessment through conversation and speech samples revealed slurred speech and imprecise consonant productions and the following articulation errors: “sometime” for sometimes, “kid” for “kids” (final consonant deletion), “wid” for “with” (stopping), and “fee” for “free” (consonant cluster reduction). Jamilette read 11/20 words correctly from the Pre-K Dolch Sight wordlist (i.e. and, a, can, make, me, not, run, I, jump, go, little); she identified 25/26 uppercase and lowercase letters correctly, 18/25 consonant sounds correctly, and was able to identify the long vowel sounds but not the short sounds from the Scholastic red-CORE Phonics Survey. A full oral-peripheral examination was not administered. An informal assessment was conducted to assess the structure and functioning of her articulators and adequacy for speech.…

    Although developmental norms can serve as a guideline, they should not be the only resources used. Developmental norms represent a sample population and cannot observe the individuals’ skill set. The second treatment target is stimulability can be described as a treatment target in which the sounds that are produced incorrectly can be produced correctly when there is another stimulus along with it. Another recommendation for the target of stimulability is that the targets that are more stimulable should be treated faster than those that are not stimulable. An important recommendation based on research indicates that the treatment of phonological errors is that an error should be treated when it happens 40% of the time.…
