Self-evaluate a recorded conversation on a rubric

When to use this goal

For older students near the end of articulation services who can produce the target sound in conversation with some errors and are taking over their own monitoring. The student listens to a recording of their own talk and writes or says a short self-evaluation. Base the choice on conversation data and the student's interest in managing their own speech.

Baseline
Have the student evaluate one recording without the form and score each row. Note whether counts are too high or too low and whether the student can say what makes errors more likely (fast talk, long words, tiredness).
Tips
Score each row from 0 (missing) to 3 (complete and accurate). The rubric scores the quality of the self-evaluation, not how many errors there were, so a student with errors who reports them accurately scores well. This is a good final goal before dismissal and can be continued by the student without the SLP.
Limits
Self-evaluation does not by itself change speech; keep a production measure alongside it. Recordings in class need consent and must follow school privacy rules.

Goal
