correct use of pronouns

[Guest guest]

I just met w/ the SLP and teacher to go over the new MFE or ETR. His (many)

sound errors are the same since just a little over a year and 1/2 ago (SD never

changed his disability category from prek w/ a disability, so since it was too

late to change it legally, they just did a new eval - whatever he's still

getting services so...) Anyway, the SLP said he doesn't use pronouns correctly,

so of course I had to think about this (b/c you know how we get so used to our

kiddos speech sometimes we just don't hear it). So that night I'm really

listening and sure enough I heard " her wanted that " . So I tried to get him to

repeat " she wanted that " . He said " no, her " , again I repeated the correct

response. His come back was " I can't say that " ! So he's compensated by

substituting a word that he can say. So we'll start at another place - saying

sounds, segment the words, try saying it at different parts of the word. The

SLP also said that he's not hearing the different sounds (chose " m " ake instead

of " w " ake, etc). So we're trying to do any activities that we can think of to

help him hear the different sounds. We have Earobics. Any other ideas? I'd

appreciate them all.

Thanks, Bonnie
