We’ve reached the final episode in our series about therapy planning across your school-aged caseload here on the SLP Now podcast!

So far, we’ve used Dr. Ukrainetz’s literacy-based therapy framework to work through a month of therapy planning for five units: a play-based early language unit (slpnow.com/183), a picture book (slpnow.com/184), a fiction article (slpnow.com/185), a non-fiction article (slpnow.com/186), and a science experiment (slpnow.com/187).

Today, we’re going to talk about therapy planning for a vocational unit!

This unit is ideal for students who are working on functional communication skills, and using language in “real world” situations versus a classroom environment.

For these episode, we’re going to use a unit from the SLP Now membership that’s about ordering fast food. We chose this unit because it’s something students are very motivated by, and it’s a lot of fun to work with.

This unit includes a video and script to use, or you can write your own. There are so many ways to get creative and target language skills in a super practical way!

In the episode, Marisha talks about therapy plans that target:

• Functional communication skills
• Sequencing and perspective taking
• Comparing and contrasting
• Grammar and syntax
• Vocabulary

…and more!

All of the activities in this unit are language rich, and they provide the perfect context to target almost any goal in your speech therapy sessions—even if you’re working on multiple goals with mixed groups.

We’re nearing the end of our six-week series about therapy planning across your school-aged caseload here on the SLP Now podcast!

So far, we’ve created a month of therapy plan for four units: a play-based early language unit (slpnow.com/183), a picture book (slpnow.com/184), a fiction article (slpnow.com/185), and a non-fiction article (slpnow.com/186).

Today, we’re going to talk about therapy planning journey for a science experiment!

This unit is ideal for or students who need a high quality contextualized activity, but may be resistant to using a text. It’s also great for students who are working on social language or problem solving skills because the activities mimic a classroom environment.

The five steps we’re going to follow for a science experiment unit are a little different than literacy-based therapy because we aren’t using a text. Our new checklist looks like this:

1. Plan and Prepare
2. Watch and Do
3. Reflect and Troubleshoot
4. Discussion, and
5. Focused Skill Activities

Like the literacy-based units we’ve talked about in the past, these activities are incredibly language rich. They can be used to target goals for vocabulary, grammar, syntax, following directions, asking questions, collaborating with peers, and more—even if you’re working with mixed groups.

We’ve reached the next episode in our six-week series about therapy planning across your school-aged caseload here on the SLP Now podcast!

For the last three weeks, we’ve used Dr. Ukrainetz’s five step literacy-based therapy framework to work through a month of therapy planning for three units: a play-based early language unit (slpnow.com/183), a picture book (slpnow.com/184), and a fiction article (slpnow.com/185).

Today, we’re going to take the next step on our therapy planning journey and dig into a non-fiction article, “Wild Calls in the Springtime Sky.”

This unit is ideal for students in third grade and up, or if they have a good mastery of narrative language. It’s a great way to target more expository language!

In the episode, Marisha talks about using literacy-based therapy to target:

• Grammar and syntax
• Vocabulary goals
• Asking and answering questions
• Producing compound and complex sentences

…and more!

Remember: all of the activities in this unit are language rich, and they provide the perfect context to target almost any goal in your speech therapy sessions—even if you’re working on multiple goals with mixed groups.

Welcome to another episode of the SLP Now podcast!

In the last couple episodes, we've been exploring literacy-based therapy plans that will help you target your students’ goals across multiple ages, group sizes, and skill levels.

We covered therapy planning for an early language unit in episode 183, plans for a picture book unit in episode 184, and today we’re going to dig into the third part of this six week series with a fiction article: Miss Johnson’s Plant Experiment.

This unit is specifically designed for older students who still benefit from narrative support, but are capable of reading longer and more complex texts. There is a lot of research showing us that targeting narratives through high school has a positive impact on learning, and so many activities we can use to embed those skills.

In the episode, we discuss Dr. Ukrainetz’s five step literacy-based therapy framework, using it to target goals like:

• Articulation
• Grammar and syntax
• Answering questions
• Vocabulary targets
• Describing activities

…and more!

All of the activities in this unit are language rich, and they provide the perfect context to target almost any goal in your speech therapy sessions—even if you’re targeting multiple goals with mixed groups.

Let’s get this therapy planning party started!
