186. How to Write Speech Goals That Actually WORK: Be Effective & Educate


Listen Later

If you work with children with speech sound disorders, this episode is for you. I’m breaking down my simple 3-step method for writing speech goals that not only improve clarity but also empower parents and the entire intervention team to stay on the same page. You’ll learn how to: Use your single word standardized speech tests to track progress with confidence Write easy to measure annual goals that are reliable to connected speech Create clear, evidence-based objectives that scaffold from maximum to minimal support This approach has been a game-changer in my 20+ years of practice, making goals measurable, parent-friendly, and easy to implement across settings.
