Q.

The speech pathologist has all materials on a cart.  Speech is conducted “in the hallway” on chairs borrowed from a nearby classroom.  The speech pathologist reviews the previous session with the child, selects a goal for the day, drills on the sounds with the child, assigns a homework sheet, and the child returns to class.

Q.

“Hello! We have been working on S in the beginning of words, and you got 95% correct last time. Let's try S at the end of words today. Ready? ......
That was great. You said 70% of those words correctly. Please practice this list of words with your family. See you tomorrow!"

Q.

Try starting with just one group.  Take each child individually during the time you would normally see the group.  Then let the program “grow” from there.

Q.

The data collected on this program documents success when a child is scheduled only a few times per week. The number of sessions is based on the student’s needs. If you are assigned to a building 2 days a week, the student could be serviced in the morning AND the afternoon, resulting in 16 sessions per month.

Q.

The IEP could be written as “X number of 30 minute sessions per week, AND X number of 5-10 minute individual sessions per week” OR “X number of 30-40 sessions per week”, with the language goals addressed in a group session, and the child staying afterwards to address articulation goals.

Q.

The parents in my school district LOVE this program and are pleased that their child only misses a few minutes out of the classroom. When I enroll a new child into speech, the parents first concern seems to be: “What will my child be missing when they come to speech?” It is wonderful to answer that question with “They will not be missing anything!”

Q.

“We started a new program a few years ago, and we have had wonderful success. Instead of Diane being scheduled for two, 30 minute group sessions, I will be seeing her for 5-10 minutes individually several times a week. Diane will have the opportunity to practice her sounds more than she would in a group session. I will have her practice saying her sounds on an average of 100 times in a 5 minute session. Also, all of my time is devoted to Diane, instead of having her waiting for her turn as I work with someone else. I have kept data on this program, and I am finding that I am dismissing children from speech approximately 4 months sooner than traditional therapy.

Q.

The teachers in my building love this program. They have told me that they love the fact that the children do not miss instruction, and they do not have to spend their time “re-teaching” lessons.

Q.
