Age/Gender: 5 Year old girl
Locale: Brown Room (testing)
Alias: L
Our SLP completed a speech/language evaluation today on a little 5-year-old girl whom we are expecting to test out of Special Education this week (her communication skills are now at age level; happy dance moment). This little girl had not been in attendance for nearly two weeks prior to today. As she was beginning the test, the SLP asked L, "Where have you been? We've missed you!" L explained that her Grandma in SLC had a heart attack and they were staying in a hotel while she got better. L proceeded to explain, "AND, we stayed in a BAD hotel!" The SLP responded, "A bad hotel? Why was it such a bad hotel?" With her little face twisted in disgust, L proclaimed, "It didn't have ANY FOOD! . . . . . but, it did have a swimming pool. I drowned in it!" "You drowned in it? Well, did you die?" asked the SLP. In her typical fashion of thinking that most of us adults are completely crazy, L rolled her little eyes, gave the SLP the "duh" expression and stated, "Noooooo; I didn't die! I just drowned!!!"
