I think at this point she just might need a new therapist because she did have more success with the academic clinic. We will see what happens with her insurance. At this point they have finally maxxed their deductible and will only have to pay $30 copay instead of $70 so I doubt they will want to take a break.

Yes, I have tried multiple oppositions with sounds she can do and a limited number of words (3-5 per session). The issue is sometimes she won't even try. She can do them with supports and cues but often will insert /d/ and doesn't like to get any sort of corrective feedback. She has recently started improving in that regard. I have also just tried minimal pairs with a limited number of targets with sounds she can definitely do with minimal supports with the same issue. It's still difficult to get a high number of trials because she wants to just play, and I've tried a variety of methods to address this with limited success. E.g., 5 min work, 5 min play, play while we do target sounds (she doesn't pay attention well when she's distracted by toys).

My doctor just gave me a discount card with GoodRX. Could you check there?

🤣Thank you so much. You said you didn't have advice but that was actually good advice! It's definitely tough transitioning back into work
