Great question. We always work up and down a hierarchy of difficulty so that the client experiences success. Fluency is so variable, so that many times the client is at one level (sentences, for instance) and then he/she may be having a difficult day and we cycle down to phrases or words. A positive of self-reinforcement is that the client feels like they have control over aspects of their speech, that they can make choices about how they want it to feel and sound. I think this ownership piece is very important. Best of luck.
