Section 1: Reflection
The process of working with a team through this assessment we felt was mutually
beneficial as it allowed us to bounce ideas off each other and required us to determine our
2
rationale for each decision. While this is not always the case in school and clinical practices, we
certainly could see how beneficial it must be to work alongside other SLPs in the field. During
the simulation, one member shared it from their laptop, however, decisions were agreed upon by
all before any categories were selected. If one person did not agree with the rationale, further
discussion was had regarding what we all felt was the best next step. It helped us be more
accurate and precise in our decision-making.
REASON FOR REFERRAL:
Cameron was referred for a comprehensive speech and language assessment by his pediatrician
who was concerned about his unintelligible speech.
CASE HISTORY:
Cameron’s mother states he began talking late (late one or early 2). Other than speech, Cameron
has met all of his developmental milestones. He has a 10 year old brother who has a lisp, but
otherwise, there is no family history of speech language delays. Cameron’s mother’s major
concern is that he's going to be going to school next year and she wants him to be able to
communicate well with his peers. She reports Cameron has the most difficulty with sounds and
words that have the letter c, the letter k, g, and f. She would like to see Cameron improve in his
production of final consonants. He is a very picky eater, and refuses just about everything other
than PB&J and sweet potatoes, according to mother.
ORAL MECHANISM EXAM:
Oral mechanism exam was completed by the SLP using the oral mechanism screening form
(Dworkin-Culatta, 1996). Results reveal structure and function are within normal limits.

Cameron did have difficulty producing /ka/ in the DDK sequence for the diadochokinetic speech
pattern task.
HEARING SCREENING:
A hearing screening was completed by the pediatrician and found to be within normal limits.
SPEECH SOUND ASSESSMENT:
Single Word Testing:
Single word speech sound production was assessed using the Goldman-Fristoe Test of
Articulation - Preschool. This test is appropriate for ages 2-21:11 years old, measuring any
speech sound errors in words. Cameron obtained a standard score of 66, percentile rank of 1%.
Analysis reveals phonological processes that should have been eliminated by age four.
Cameron's score indicates a moderate-severe phonological delay. The Khan-Lewis Phonological
Analysis -3 was used to determine any phonological processes used within his. This test is
appropriate for ages 2-21:11 years old. Test results reveal the following percentages of
occurrence for the following phonological processes: Stopping of Fricatives and Affricates: 40%;
Velar Fronting: 65%; Cluster Simplification 65%; and Deletion of Final Consonant: 27%.

, n.d.).
Connected Speech Sample: A connected speech sample was obtained during a story retelling
task where he read a story about a little blue truck to determine if any speech sound errors from
the single-word assessment presented themselves within his connected speech. Cameron
demonstrated the same phonological processes that appeared during the single-word testing.
