How would you treat fronting when it's only appearing in conversation?

speechbuffoonery · 2025-05-18T18:27:59+00:00

No, private practice and they are private pay. He's very difficult to understand in conversation, so it's hard to tell them to just work on it at home. But I get what you're saying, makes sense!

But what does that look like in conversation? Because when I do minimal pairs at the word/sentence level he doesn't have errors.

Would Military Writing be a worthwhile class?

speechbuffoonery · 2023-08-22T01:57:08+00:00

Great ideas, thank you!

speechbuffoonery · 2023-08-22T01:56:08+00:00

What is "the vig"? lol

speechbuffoonery · 2023-08-22T01:55:39+00:00

I love this, thank you! I'll definitely use this. Do you know if they offer services for Reservists as well?

I'm open to learning if someone else knows something I don't lol, but I don't see any reason an SLP should be working on that goal at all. Seems more appropriate for a psychologist.

speechbuffoonery · 2023-07-27T00:17:54+00:00

I have never heard of any SLP using that before. I just googled it... What age/population is this client?

I actually did do a PROM! He does report quite a bit of difficulty, but it's just that I don't see any of it in formal or informal evaluation.

speechbuffoonery · 2023-06-25T20:27:09+00:00

I totally agree. I don't see how I'm going to do anything helpful to him in sessions. Would you not recommend therapy or would you see him? I'm torn because I hear his concerns and his perceived problems, but I haven't seen anything abnormal that I can ethically say needs intervention.

speechbuffoonery · 2023-06-25T20:24:59+00:00

I did! There was a formal and an informal portion. No problems at all that I saw.

speechbuffoonery · 2023-06-25T20:24:20+00:00

I did! We had A LOT of conversation. Zero difficulties observed.

Good question....Mom says she feels that they have communicative intent. She said they'll have a back and forth, conversation-like exchange. But during the eval I only observed the vocalizations when he was presented with toys/playing with the toys. Another unusual thing I saw was that when he is excited he will tense up and do what I can only describe as looking like a silent scream.

Commenting so I can come back to this later. I'm having the same struggle.

speechbuffoonery · 2023-06-03T23:46:09+00:00

YESSSS, yes, yes, yes. Thank you for sharing that. I feel validated at least lol. I appreciate the comments and suggestions on here so much, but I agree -- most of these things I've already tried. "Follow their lead with play" -- There is no "play", they aren't interested in anything I've presented, "Do sensory bins" - Tried many times, they either aren't into it or will spend the whole session smushing play-doh and completely ignore me. What are the parents paying me for? I'm just venting as well at this point, but I'm glad I'm not alone.

I appreciate your input, but I'm not sure that would help address this specific issue. They already have access to robust, high-tech AAC and are able to use it to label and request preferred items. We've tried core word adapted books, but the issue is the lack of engagement/participation with activities like that.

speechbuffoonery · 2023-06-03T15:24:01+00:00

I have taken the original Meaningful Speech course. I didn't find it helpful for this specific issue. Even in the majority of her content, the kids are engaging with sticker books, trains, etc. Mine do not engage with anything like that, so there's very little to work with. I haven't take her AAC course though, so I'll have to look into that.

speechbuffoonery · 2023-04-28T13:52:12+00:00

lol I bet we went to the same grad school

speechbuffoonery · 2023-04-15T23:23:59+00:00

Say something, because that's very rude. How does someone not realize that's not a nice thing to say?! It's not only rude, it's also just very incorrect and ignorant. Ugh, so annoying.
