Twice a week for 20 minutes or once a week for 50 minutes? How does an SLP decide? In this week’s episode, Dr. Mary Beth Schmitt brings a research-to-practice perspective to help you make the most of those treatment minutes! What is dose, exactly and how do you find that ideal combo of dosage, frequency, and active student engagement to realize the progress you’re looking for within the time you have? This chat will challenge the popular notion that “more is better” and give you the confidence to start powerful service delivery conversations with your fellow stakeholders.

Episode Summary

Effective and efficient speech sound therapy is like poker. Find out how in this week’s episode, entirely about the meat and potatoes of pediatric speech therapy-intervention for speech sound disorders. If you are working with kids who have complex speech sound delays or disorders, don’t miss this chat with Kelly Vess and find out just how to add some serious oomf to your speech sound therapy secret sauce. Kelly is a research-to-practice SLP and author who has dedicated her career to helping preschoolers with speech sound disorders gain stronger speech skills, faster. In this hearty episode, Kelly walks us through the process of selecting appropriate treatment targets and enthusiastically outlines the complexity approach to speech sound intervention. If you want to make the most out of your 30-60 minutes a week (or less!) with your speech sound students, tune in to learn how to take fireworks over a chisel to the rock of speech sound intervention and help your kiddos get to mastery faster.
