Looking for ways to get your students more involved, more engaged, and seeing more results? You have to try interest-based therapy! 

Many of us struggle with keeping our students engaged and motivated- especially our older ones. So instead of fighting the fight and trying to get them to engage in the activities you choose,  how about we flip the script and focus more on their interests? I’m sharing how you can do it in this episode of SLP Coffee Talk! 

Topics covered in this episode include:

• What interest-based therapy is and why it works- particularly with older students
• How you can implement interest-based therapy into your lessons
• Activity ideas you can do based on your student's interests
• How to intrinsically motivate your older students 
• Why building rapport and checking in with your students is essential 
• Some free resources to use with interest-based therapy 

By using interest-based therapy, therapy is going to be more enjoyable and it's going to significantly impact the overall success and progress of your students. Tune in to learn how!
