Progress

One of my clients, "It" (to protect privacy, follow HIPAA laws, and ensure that I don't get booted from the program), is cute.  So cute.  It has a language delay as well as an articulation disorder, which means It cannot communicate at age-appropriate levels, in either speech or language.  But, like I said, It is so cute!  And It is so smart!

One of It's goals is to produce final consonants, meaning put sounds on the ends of words such as bat or cat.  It doesn't usually produce consonants in the middle or at the end of words...ever, which is the bulk of It's articulation disorder.

Well, today It said eight words with final consonants!  Ah!  It (really, it...not It) was so exciting!  Granted, it took multiple trials for each production, and the percentage of correct productions out of trials was very small, but still...IT SAID EIGHT WORDS WITH FINAL CONSONANTS!

That is all.  Just wanted to share.
