Rylan
Annual Goal: Rylan will improve intelligibility of speech to be a successful communicator in his classroom setting by mastery of the below objectives with at least 80% accuracy.
Status: Anticipate Meeting Goal by Individual Education Program (IEP) End
Comment: What a wonderful start Rylan has made. I am absolutely impressed by his motivation to work hard, not only in speech but at home. This determination and hard work will yield great progress! He is a joy to have in therapy!
Goal 1: Rylan will eliminate the phonological process of final consonant deletion in syllables and words with 80% accuracy in 4/5 opportunities.
Current %: 80
Status: Some Progress Made
Comment: Rylan can independently complete exercises/worksheets with final /b, p, t, m/ with 90-100% accuracy. He is just now starting /n/, which is slightly more difficult for him. Goal ongoing.
Goal 2: Rylan will eliminate the phonological process of final consonant deletion in phrases/sentences with 80% accuracy in 4/5 opportunities.
Current%: 80
Status: Some Progress Made
Comment: Within the last couple of weeks, Rylan has really taken off with the above sounds in short phrases. He is independently using /p, t, b, m/ in short phrases with 90-100% accuracy. We'l continue to add more age-appropriate sounds to this goal.
Goal 3: Rylan will eliminate the phonological process of final consonant deletion in conversational speech as measured by three 3-minute speech samples with at least 80% accuracy.
Status: Objective Not Covered During This Period.
Goal 4: Rylan will produce s-blends (sp, st, sm, sn, sk) in words and phrases with 80% accuracy in 4/5 opportunities.
Current %: 25
Status: No Progress Made
Comment: Rylan has been introduced to /s/ blends in isolation, which he is able to do with a model and visual presented. He does have difficulty with the word level. While he's able to say "st", "sn", "sp" without a big pause in between the sounds, he really needs that break at the word level (e.g. s poon, s tar). Goal ongoing.
Overall Comments: Can't wait to see continued growth. I know he will continue to practice in his speech book!
I haven't recognized much of an improvement in Rylan's everyday speech. But I'm not listening for the specific things that Ms. Rholanda has been working on with him. She has told me a couple of times that she'll have a conversation with Rylan and he will naturally add on a final consonant sound he'd usually drop.
What Ms. Rholanda wrote in Rylan's report matches well to what he's been working on. He seems to move on quicker than Carter but he's usually doing the same thing (final consonants), but each week is often a different consonant so it feels like we aren't stalled out.
It's harder to get Rylan to practice lately but once I convince him to get his notebook out, he wants to do a lot. But he doesn't want me to listen or help. He just wants to do it by himself.
Carter
Annual Goal: Student's speech is clear enough to be understood by most people.
Status: Anticipate Meeting Goal by IEP End
Comment: Carter continued to work on /s/ and /z/ and carryover into phrases/sentences. He has greatly improved with positioning for /s/. Also phoneme /l/ was introduced. He is currently working on correct tongue position for /l/ in isolation and CV (consonant-vowel) production.
Goal 1: The student will improve auditory discrimination skills of target phonemes by identifying the target sound on 9/10 trials over 3 consecutive data days.
Current %: 90
Status: Objective Has Been Met
Comment: Mastered
Goal 2: The student will produce the following s-blends in phrases and sentences (sp, st, sm, sn, sk) on 8/10 trials on 3 data days.
Current %: 80
Status: Objective Has Been Met
Comment: Mastered
Goal 3: The student will produce /s,z/ in syllables and single words on 8/10 trials on 3 data days.
Current %: 80
Status: Objective Has Been Met
Comment: Carter was averaging initial /s/ and /z/ in words with 100% accuracy with no models or prompts needed. Mastered.
Overall Comments: Carter's goals will be adjusted in the next few weeks at his IEP meeting. He makes great progress with new sounds introduced and I can't wait to see his performance after I return from leave!
Carter's goals were developed by his previous teacher (Ms. Judy). I had been feeling this year that Carter has been doing the same things with Ms. Rholanda for months even though he seems to be mastering the skills after a few weeks. After reviewing Carter's quarterly report (Ms. Rholanda did not give me one 3 months ago as she should have), I realized that she's just been focusing on these specific goals and not adding any additional ones before Carter's review. Only in the last few sessions has Ms. Rholanda begun on the "l" sound, which should be Carter's main goal for the rest of the year. However, we've had this same homework since before Christmas break.
Luckily Carter's review is on Friday and I'm looking forward to seeing his new goals.
