vocal repertoire. This will be done in two ways:
The teacher will write down all that sounds that have been reported both from
observations and from other staff members.
The teacher will also conduct a full day assessment where the teacher will record
all of the student’s sounds and their frequencies.
2.
From the inventory that is generated, a sound that is currently in the learner’s repertoire
and most often heard will be chosen as the “target sound”.
