Bridging the Gap: How SLPs Can Empower Teachers to Support Students with Speech and Language Needs

In this another energizing episode of SLP Coffee Talk, Hallie dives into actionable strategies for collaborating with classroom teachers to better support your older speech students (grades 4–12). From recommending simple accommodations to fostering generalization of skills beyond the therapy room, this episode is your go-to guide for making classrooms more accessible and boosting student success. 💡 Ready to make an impact? Let’s do this, SLPs!


Bullet Points to Discuss:

-Why Accommodations Matter

-Top Accommodation Tips for Teachers

-How to Communicate with Teachers

-Benefits of Classroom Accommodations

Here’s what we learned:

  • Bridging the gap between speech therapy and the classroom.
  • Advocating for students' needs and ensuring academic content accessibility.
  • Extra processing time for students to absorb and respond.
  • Using visual supports like graphic organizers (e.g., “Somebody Wanted But So Then” for summarizing).
  • Allowing alternative ways to demonstrate knowledge (e.g., written reflections or recorded responses).
  • Fostering independence by reducing future accommodation needs.
  • Remember: You are not the customer. Your perspective differs from your students’.
