Happy Halloween, friends!
It’s yet another highly anticipated day of the year around our home, and we launched it with Charlotte having speech therapy. The pic to the right was Halloween eve, and we stumbled upon Charlotte and Emma being bats before bed. “We are hanging like bats from Emma’s bed!”
Tuesday in speech, Charlotte got to use this cool book where she worked on vocabulary descriptions for the different characters you can make, and today she got to create her own people or make the person her speech therapist described to her BASED ON VERBAL DESCRIPTIONS.
For a deaf and hard of hearing child - this is HUGE. And Char rocked it. Below is the book and the follow-up email from her speech therapist.
The daily speech update from Charlotte’s Henrico County speech therapist to her first grade teacher, deaf and hard of hearing instructor and me!
Charlotte is really growing up! I was so amazed with her performance this morning. See below:
Charlotte was successful listening to inference-like descriptions and creating a face based on the description on 3 different opportunities. She benefited from repetition to recall all 5 parts. The first trial she recalled 3/5 parts, the second trial she required repetition and by the third trial she recalled 4/5 parts. When providing descriptions, she was very descriptive and clear with her descriptions. She was noted to substitute /f/ for "th" i the word "something". New vocabulary words included "bald" and "spiky". Overall, Charlotte displayed amazing maturity when requesting repetition and recalling information presented to her.
Have a spooktacular Halloween.
