How to run it
- Open with a short, friendly check-in about talking this week, using a feelings scale or picture choices, and let the student say what was easy or tricky without judging it.
- Teach or review one strategy at a time (easy onset, light contact, pausing) with a kid-friendly name and a model, then practice it through a ladder: single words, short phrases from a favorite book, then answers about recess games.
- End with a short game where the student chooses when to use the strategy, then ask how it felt and where they might try it.
What to track
- Record the strategy practiced, the level reached (word, phrase, sentence, conversation) and how much modeling or cueing you gave.
- Note the student's own rating of how talking felt, and any situations they mention as harder or easier.
Make it easier or harder
- Easier: Stay at word or phrase level, say it together with the student, or practice with a reading passage the student knows well.
- Harder: Move to a retell or a short game with a peer, add a small time limit, or practice answering a question in front of a pretend class.
Home practice
With the student's agreement, share the strategy's kid-friendly name with the family and pick one calm time, like reading at bedtime, to try it for a few minutes.
General ideas for planning, not a treatment plan. Your assessment data and clinical judgment decide what fits each student.
