What can you do
in 5-Minutes?

A smarter more efficient way to deliver speech therapy

​

5-Minute Kids™ is a simple, structured program designed to help students with speech sound disorders make faster progresswithout disrupting their day.  

​

instead of long group sessions, students receive short, focused 5-10 minute individual sessions tailored to their needs. 

​

  • Minimal planning for the therapist

  • Minimal time out of the classroom

  • Maximum opportunity for meaningful practice​

 

Sessions can take place in the hallway or any nearby space, making the program easy to implement in real school settings. 

 

Most importantly, this approach delivers results.

​

Data shows that students in the 5-Minute Kids™ model make greater progress toward speech and language goals compared to traditional group therapy.

I am excited to try out the 5-Minute Program.  I LOVE the idea of color coordinating the folders according to grede.  I will never go back to anything but the 5-minute article.  I have seen so much progress, way more than I had seen in the previous year.
