IEP: Individual Education Plan

Today we met with the SLP, the guidance counselor & an ESE specialist to determine the amount of services that P qualifies for. He will be attending group speech therapy sessions for 30 minutes twice a week.

Speech Evaluation

P exhibited a moderate phonological disorder which significantly impacts intelligibility. Test results indicate deficits in articulation only. Oral structures and function are adequate for speech sound production.

Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation (GFTA-2)
Results: SS=49, %ile=2, AE= 3-0; sound-in-words subtest: errors noted in production of/s, z, ʃ, tʃ, dʒ, l, r, θ, ð/, /r/ blends, /s/ blends; substitution of /θ/ and /ð/ for /ʃ, tʃ, s, z, dʒ/; stimulatable for /r/ is good; not stimulatable for /s/; /e/ɚ/ in "gɚl"

Khan-Lewis Phonological Analysis (KLPA-2)
Results: SS=70, %ile-7, AE=3-9; phonological processes used: liquid simp. (58%), deaffrication (50%), stopping (6%), cluster simp. (4%), stridency deletion occurred 17x

Speech Screening

P went today for a preliminary screening for speech therapy at the local elementary school. He's had trouble pronouncing certain sounds for a long time, and as a homeschooled student, he's entitled to receive certain services through the local school system, one of which is speech. Based on the assessment, he'll need speech, though the SLP needs to schedule a more intensive assessment to determine the depth of his therapy.
