Child Observation Paper Examples

On February 2nd I went in to the clinic and observed a 5 year old boy who had a moderate language disorder. And just like we discussed in class, the child wouldn’t be phonologically processing his words correctly. For example: Blue car would be pronounced as Boo car. And screwdriver would be pronounced as schoodiver. He would be altering his words by gliding upn them or using cluster reduction. And from his age group based on the research between 3-5 years is the age group where these speech processing take place, so he is come at a good time to therapy to get this resolved. The objective of the client in this session was to correctly produce voice and voiceless “th” sounds in the initial/median/final stages. He wouldn’t be prancing “k” sound
And when the child was doing anything the therapist would ask him to say everything he does. She would use different game tactics to get him to speak using the terms and actions they just did to make him pronounce the words he was struggling with, affect the actions that were happening in past tense form, and knowing the opposite of another word. When the child did something he was encouraged and asked for a high five praised for what he did correctly. And when he didn’t answer something correctly or didn’t want to do it he would distract himself because he didn’t want to do it. The therapist would then ask again or rephrase it differently, but it didn’t take more than twice for the child to have the correct answer. When he spoke and answered some of the questions you can tell he was a reader and was smart for his age. His family seemed to be really supporting bringing him to therapy and making sure his speech got better. The communication barrier he might be facing right now doesn’t seem to big, but in the future it would affect his speech when he doesn’t have complete sentences, and could possibly cause bullying from other
