Description

We’ve reached the final episode in our series about therapy planning across your school-aged caseload here on the SLP Now podcast!So far, we’ve used Dr. Ukrainetz’s literacy-based therapy framework to work through a month of therapy planning for five units: a play-based early language unit (slpnow.com/183), a picture book (slpnow.com/184), a fiction article (slpnow.com/185), a non-fiction article (slpnow.com/186), and a science experiment (slpnow.com/187).Today, we’re going to talk about therapy planning for a vocational unit!This unit is ideal for students who are working on functional communication skills, and using language in “real world” situations versus a classroom environment.For these episode, we’re going to use a unit from the SLP Now membership that’s about ordering fast food. We chose this unit because it’s something students are very motivated by, and it’s a lot of fun to work with.This unit includes a video and script to use, or you can write your own. There are so many ways to get creative and target language skills in a super practical way!In the episode, Marisha talks about therapy plans that target:Functional communication skillsSequencing and perspective takingComparing and contrastingGrammar and syntaxVocabulary…and more!All of the activities in this unit are language rich, and they provide the perfect context to target almost any goal in your speech therapy sessions—even if you’re working on multiple goals with mixed groups.SHOW NOTESFull show notes at slpnow.com/188
