I agree. 50 minutes is a long session.See if you can see him for 2 shorter sessions. I try to change activities to keep the kids interested. Start with oral-motor exercises for warm ups. /u/, /i/, /a/, /m/ with hand signs,(point forward for /u/ lip rounding, point backward for /i/ - long e for smiling, open hands for /a/ 'ah' big mouth and hands together on top of each other for /m/. Then contrast /w/ and /r/ in isolation/syllables/words with hand signs - point to lips for round /w/. Point to lips and then back for more open mouth /r/. Then, I would do some drills. Use whatever fun actiivies the boy likes. We use geoboards, chalk for chalk pictures, games, etc. Sometimes we use a story and the child has 1 or 2 target words to repeat throughout the story. I ususally make up the story to fit the child's target.
