  2. Using the Possessive ‘s in Sentences: Client will use the possessive ‘s in carrier sentences when describing pictures (I see Carrie’s ball) with modeling and prompting from the clinician with at least 80% accuracy.
  3. Using the Possessive ‘s in Response to a Question: Client will produce the possessive ‘s in a full sentence to indicate possession in response to a question (such as “whose ball is this?”) with at least 80% accuracy.
