EQ: What is the best way for a speech pathologist to treat a child with a speech impediment?

• A speech pathologist can demonstrate to the child how to produce sounds correctly in words or a word they are trying to say. 
• Also, the speech pathologist can teach the child to recognize what sounds are correct and which are incorrect. 

3.  What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ?

The most important source that helped me come up with my answers was a "Speech Sound Disorders: Articulation and Phonological Processes" from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association .

4.  Who is your mentor, or where are you volunteering, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?

I will be volunteering at a rehabilitation center that has a children's department and an emphasis on speech pathology. Since my working EQ is how a speech pathologist treats a child with speech impediments, volunteering here will allow me to get a better experience of what it is like.
