Align Therapy to the Curriculum to Reduce Planning Time and Increase Outcomes

New academic skills are more easily acquired with increased exposure to academic topics and when the skill has relevance in the student’s life. Using classroom themes provides vocabulary rich topics and a way for the child to practice newly acquired communication skills. In a traditional therapy model seen in most schools today, it is not uncommon for the speech-language pathologist to see a student in individual or group settings using therapy materials chosen with the child’s speech therapy goals in mind. While this paradigm works well for a handful of students, greater gains can be made when therapy aligns to the curriculum and when parents can interact with their child based on what they bring home from school. This workshop provides strategies to reduce therapy planning but relying on classroom resources and topics.
