Case Study Jenna

The focus of this case study is to make sure Jenna has access to all the resources she needs to increase her speech and language skills. Jenna has some phonological concerns that could elevate if she is not entered into a speech and language program. However, many of Jenna’s phonological delays could be due to her medical history, as well as her young age. Due to Jenna’s otitis media, and Pressure-equalization tubes, she may have speech and language impairments such as developmental articulation delays/disorders or development language delays/disorders (Children’s Speech Care Center).

Another example would be for the letter /k/, I showed Jenna that this sound is the “coughing” sound. When you cough your tongue touches the bottom of your mouth, I would visually show Jenna my tongue/lip position for each developmental letter. Through researching Glenn Weybright, M.S. CCC-SLP blog, I learned a great approach to help children learn their sounds, she finds it important to have the child practice the sound in model isolation one-hundred times before moving onto the next step of therapy. This therapy technique would look like this: I show a visual of how to make the sound /f/, I would then say /f/ and then Jenna would copy me. We would do this one hundred times before we moved on. I would continue to practice this technique with Jenna for the letters /p/, /h/, /d/, /g/ and /ng/. It is also important that in her speech and language services we create a strong base of sounds. At Jenna’s young age, it would be central to make sure she is learning sounds at an age appropriate manner based on ASHA guidelines (see
