Subjective
Mason participated in structured word-level articulation practice targeting initial /s/. He remained engaged following inaccurate productions and responded to brief verbal placement cues.
Objective
Mason produced initial /s/ accurately on 8 of 17 first attempts (47%) at the word level. Following verbal placement cues (“skinny snake sound”), he produced 7 of 7 documented retries accurately and made 2 spontaneous self-corrections. In one representative trial, “sun” was initially produced as “thun” and was accurate on retry after a verbal cue.
Mason: “Thun.” → after verbal cue: “Sun.”
Transcript linkedAssessment
Mason demonstrated emerging independent accuracy for initial /s/ and strong immediate stimulability with a concise verbal placement cue. The difference between first-attempt and cued-retry performance suggests the target is achievable with support but not yet consistent independently. First attempts and prompted retries should remain separate when interpreting change.
Plan
Continue initial /s/ at the word level and advance stable productions into short carrier phrases as clinically appropriate. Fade cues from direct models to brief placement reminders, continue tracking first attempts separately from retries, and provide a short home-practice set using familiar initial /s/ words.
