Working Hard

Here are some short clips of Nate working on speaking and reading in complete sentences.  He still struggles with correct use of articles.  Since CAS is a motor planning disorder once his mouth gets going he starts to say things from rote memory (which you can see in this video) when he is creating a sentence about 5 shovels.  He has practiced saying "I see the" or "I see a" so much that when he needs to say something else, it's difficult.  The SLP here uses cards with words or sometimes just dots on a page to represent the individual words.  Since we are working on improving his reading and number identification skills he has been doing more work with print.
