Caffeine & Caseloads: The SLP Life with The Pedi Speechie

Movement Matters: How a Grammar Study Changed My Language Therapy Game


Listen Later

What if your students don’t need another worksheet… they just need to move?

In this episode, I dive into a fascinating research study comparing visual and movement-based grammar interventions for students with developmental language disorder (DLD). Spoiler: movement-based cues weren’t just effective—they were more successful for one student with attention challenges.

You’ll learn:

  • The two simple grammar gestures used in the Springle & Hester (2019) study
  • Why grammar taps into motor memory
  • New gesture-based ideas you can start using tomorrow for targets like past tense, plurals, pronouns, and conjunctions
  • How to use these cues in real-life therapy—no materials required!

Plus, I’m giving you a free printable with gesture cues for 8 grammar goals you can use across your caseload.
