PACT: Speech Therapy for Josie

 


"Josie"


When Josie (not her real name) was aged 6 years 6 months (6;6) she had a Severe Phonological Disorder in the context of mid-average receptive and expressive language performance. With scoring erring on the generaous side her Quick Screener revealed a tentative single word PCC of only 30%.


The resources used in Josie's therapy


On this page are links to resources similar to those employed in Josie's therapy (Bowen, 2009), in therapy sessions and at home with her family (her parents David and Maureen and her siblings Emma, Jasper and Ruby). The worksheets actually used in Josie's speech pathology intervention were on the 1998-2011 version of this web site and most have been updated or replaced on the new site.
