Q.

“Westarted a new program a few years ago, and we have had wonderfulsuccess. Instead of Diane being scheduled for two, 30 minute groupsessions, I will be seeing her for 5-10 minutes individually severaltimes a week. Diane will have the opportunity to practice her soundsmore than she would in a group session. I will have her practice sayingher sounds on an average of 100 times in a 5 minute session. Also, allof my time is devoted to Diane, instead of having her waiting for herturn as I work with someone else. I have kept data on this program, andI am finding that I am dismissing children from speech approximately 4months sooner than traditional therapy.
