Apraxia of Speech . Week 7 . "t"

SOUND: "t" (again)
PRIMARY WORD(S): top, toe
ADDITIONAL WORD(S): teeth (just "tee")
HAND SIGNAL: "t"
CONTINUED WORD(S): two, out, in, hot, eat, home, help

Ryder was scheduled to have an hour-long Speech Therapy session this week (to make up for the canceled session last week), but about 20 minutes into the session, it was apparent that he would not make it the full 60-minutes.  Unfortunately, the Speech Therapy has to be done in 30 minute increments, and although he likely would have lasted 40-45, it wasn't an option - given the expense of the therapy, we stopped it at 30 minutes.  In the end, I'm glad we did.  Speech Therapy is hard work for Ryder, and I don't want him to get to the point that he doesn't like going.

One-step-at-a-time.
