Episode 64 was inspired by a request from Kyla’s administration: align your therapy with the curriculum. Sounds simple enough, until you remember that you see mixed-grade groups and you have limited time to meet with teachers! In this episode, the SLPs share practical strategies for connecting your therapy to what’s happening in the classroom by focusing on the underlying, foundational language skills (and good news: you are already doing a lot of this!).
