In this episode, we’re diving into five evidence-based strategies to boost your students’ Mean Length of Utterance (MLU) — in a way that’s fun, functional, and easy to track! 🎯

You’ll learn how to:

✅ Use language samples to identify targets and monitor progress

✅ Embed MLU practice into play, books, songs, and routines

✅ Model just above the child’s level for natural growth

✅ Use sentence frames and visuals to support longer utterances

✅ Give students space with contingent responses and wait time

Plus, I’ll show you how it all comes together in a Little Blue Truck therapy plan.
