Description

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:Plan and PrepareWatch and DoReflect and TroubleshootDiscussion, andFocused Skill ActivitiesLike 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.SHOW NOTESFull show notes at slpnow.com/187
