I have been lucky enough to work as an SLP with older elementary age (grades 5 and 6) students for many years now. Much of the work I have done with speechtimefun.com was developed while working with these amazing older students.    In this episode that is a part of the 2nd Annual SLP Connect Podconference, we chat about older speech students, unique challenges that they face, and strategies you can use to work with them in the classroom and virtually.    The more you can get your older students to “buy-in” to speech sessions with you by finding what motivates them, the easier it will be to work with them. I hope you enjoy this episode and are excited to dive in with your older speech students.    After completing this Podconference, participants will be able to:   Describe factors to consider when working with older speech students Describe ways to keep older students motivated via distance learning Identify at least three evidence-based strategies for working with older speech students List tools and resources available for working with older students virtually   Remember, if you would like to earn CEUs from listening to this “pod-course” episode, you must go to the SLP Connect website to pay the administration fee before October 7th, 2020 at 8 pm EST.    To view the links visit www.speechtimefun.com/34     Where We Can Connect:  Subscribe to the Podcast Follow Hallie on Instagram  Follow Hallie on Facebook Follow Hallie on PinterestTake advantage of this podcast exclusive deal for SLP Elevate - speechtimefun.com/podcastelevate
