This week the conditions I set for the game were a bit different. This week I decided to have an adult which is myself to play with the children to see if this would play a difference on how the child with the speech delay would learn more efficiently. I played with the children the first 3 games to see if the child with the speech delay would learn more from the adult. Then after i had the children play 3 games alone. I noticed when i played with them the child with the speech delay had an issue that i was playing she kept saying no mama, don’t play and was upset every time i took a turn. She did not want me to steal her turn and got upset when i did so, she kept telling me to give the card to the other child. She also got more word wrong when playing with the adult, and seemed less interested in the game. When she played just with the other child she seemed more happy and was able to sit through the game and pronounce more words. In conclusion, playing with an adult slowed the child down, she pronounced more words while playing with just the child without speech delay.
