Hi,
I could use a bit of advice. I have a male in high school with repaired cleft palate. He achieves 90-95% intelligibility in the therapy room, but drops to 40% in the regular classrooms based on teacher report. His last annual meeting was devoted to "how the SLP was going to fix this". So I started by developing a plan for his Resource teacher, in essence asking her to have him re-try misarticulated words during reading aloud practice only. This is his last class of the day, so I also asked her to speak to him briefly about how the day went after class, and to let me know a rough approximation of the number of times he needed reminding. This is in conjunction with my seeing him 3 times a week for further work and encouragement.
Venting: This is much much too hard for her, he should be able to do it himself, I'm asking her to give SO much more to this student and she corrects all of her kids anyway. Try again.
Question for help: Is there a reference/suggestion anyone can give to me to make this "easier" for his teacher? I thought about asking a different teacher, but fear the same response will be given. I serve all the schools in my district with a caseload of 54 in the elementary/preschool grades alone.
Help!
