To Whom It May Concern:
Over the past month and a half I have acquired new and exciting information in my phonology class. I have learned how to complete a critically appraised topic assignment. I now know for sure that there is not a lot of research in our field of study directly related to social dialect and group and individual treatment. I have learned more about APA format and how to better use the manual. I have read and learned about the importance of basing assessment on theory in order to provide the client with more efficacious treatment. In fact, I am planning to try using theory the next time I have a phonological or articulation assessment. My learning at this point means that I am growing as a clinician and as a person. I feel that I am developing my skills and learning knew ways to develop and improve my skills in the assessment of phonological disorders. I still have some questions about theory. Which theories are the most commonly used in the treatment of phonological disorders? How can you structure an assessment from theory? This is what I have learned and what I am wondering. Thank you for your time.
Thanks,
Whitney
