Therapy Goals  \n\n| Goal Type | Short\u2011Term Goal (4\u20116 weeks) | Long\u2011Term Goal (by end of year) |\n|-----------|----------------------------|---------------------------------|\n| **Fluency\u2011Shaping (Easy\u2011Onset)** | *Student will produce at least 8 of 10 target words using an \u201ceasy\u2011onset\u201d (soft start) during structured practice, with \u2264\u202f1\u20112 repetitions per word.* | *Student will use easy\u2011onset in 80\u202f% of classroom oral tasks (e.g., answering a question, reading aloud) as measured by weekly teacher logs.* |\n| **Stuttering\u2011Modification (Pull\u2011Out)** | *Student will demonstrate a \u201cpull\u2011out\u201d on 4 of 5 pre\u2011selected phrases during role\u2011play, reducing the length of the stuttered part by at least 50\u202f%.* | *Student will independently use pull\u2011outs in spontaneous conversation with peers, achieving a functional reduction in stuttered moments in 70\u202f% of observed interactions.* |\n| **Communication Attitudes** | *Student will identify 2 personal strengths and 2 strategies that help them feel confident when speaking, and will verbalize them during the session.* | *Student will self\u2011advocate for a \u201ccommunication break\u201d or use a \u201ctalk\u2011partner cue\u201d in 4 out of 5 real\u2011world speaking situations, reporting increased confidence on a weekly rating scale.* |\n\n> **Note:** Goals are written in the **SMART** format (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time\u2011bound) and can be tracked with a simple checklist or a visual \u201cprogress bar\u201d that the student updates each session.\n\n---\n\n### 3. Technique Spotlight \u2013 **Easy\u2011Onset** (Student\u2011Friendly)\n\n> **What it is:**  \n> \u201cEasy\u2011onset means starting a word **softly** instead of \u2018popping\u2019 the voice out. Imagine you\u2019re gently blowing out a birthday candle before you say the word. The sound begins low and then gets a little louder, just like a smooth hill rather than a sudden jump.\u201d\n\n> **Why it helps:**  \n> - The muscles don\u2019t have to \u201crush\u201d to start the sound.  \n> - It reduces the tension that can make a word get stuck.  \n\n> **How to try it:**  \n1. **Feel the breath** \u2013 place a hand on your belly and notice the gentle rise.  \n2. **Make a whisper** \u2013 say the first sound of the word as a soft \u201ch\u2011h\u2011h\u201d (like a gentle wind).  \n3. **Add the word** \u2013 keep the soft start and then let the rest of the word flow naturally.  \n\n> **Example:**  \n> - Word: **\u201cball\u201d** \u2192 \u201ch\u2011ball\u201d (soft \u201ch\u201d leading into \u201cball\u201d).  \n> - Sentence: \u201cI **h\u2011like** the ball.\u201d  \n\n---\n\n### 4. Activity \u2013 **\u201cSmooth\u2011Start Relay\u201d**  \n\n**Materials**  \n- 10\u2011card set with single\u2011word targets (e.g., *ball, school, pizza, story, music, teacher, friend, computer, summer, game*).  \n- Small whiteboard or laminated \u201cscore board.\u201d  \n- Timer (30\u2011second sand timer works well).  \n\n**Setup**  \n1. Place the cards face\u2011up in a line on a table.  \n2. Sit opposite the student; the therapist holds a \u201ccoach\u201d role (gives visual cue, not verbal).  \n\n**Procedure**  \n| Step | What Happens | Student Action |\n|------|--------------|----------------|\n| **A. Warm\u2011up (2\u202fmin)** | Therapist models easy\u2011onset on three words, exaggerating the soft start. | Watch and mirror silently. |\n| **B. Demonstration (1\u202fmin)** | Therapist says a word, then points to a \u201cthumb\u2011up\u201d sign if the start was smooth. | Observe the visual cue. |\n| **C. Relay (7\u202fmin)** | Student picks the first card, says the word using easy\u2011onset, and then places the card in the \u201cfinished\u201d pile. If the start is not smooth, the therapist gives a **gentle visual cue** (e.g., a small \u201cwave\u201d hand) and the student tries again. | Produce the word, adjust based on visual cue, continue to next card. |\n| **D. Partner Switch (2\u202fmin)** | A peer (or the therapist) joins, taking turns saying the next word. The peer simply **listens** and gives a \u201cthumb\u2011up\u201d when they hear a smooth start. | Practice in a slightly more social context. |\n| **E. Scoring (1\u202fmin)** | Each smooth start = 1 point. Goal: 8/10 points. | Celebrate successes; note any words that need extra practice. |\n\n**Key Points for the Therapist**  \n- Keep feedback **visual** (thumb\u2011up, wave) rather than verbal \u201cslow down\u201d or \u201ctake a breath.\u201d  \n- Emphasize **effort** (\u201cI liked how you started that word softly!\u201d) rather than perfection.  \n- Use a **timer** only to keep the session moving; it is not a pressure device.  \n\n---\n\n### 5. Generalization Drill (5\u202fmin)\n\n**Prompt:** \u201cTell me about your favorite part of the school day.\u201d  \n\n- The student tells a short story (\u224830\u202fseconds) while the therapist **listens** and notes each use of easy\u2011onset or pull\u2011out.  \n- After the story, the therapist gives a **quick visual summary** (e.g., 3 green stickers for smooth starts, 1 yellow for a pull\u2011out).  \n- Student reflects: \u201cWhat felt good? What could I try next time?\u201d  \n\n---\n\n### 6. Reflection & Homework (5\u202fmin)\n\n1. **Self\u2011Rating Sheet** \u2013 Student circles a face (happy, neutral, frustrated) to indicate how they felt about their speech today.  \n2. **Home\u2011Practice Card** \u2013 One daily \u201cEasy\u2011Onset\u201d sentence to say at home (e.g., \u201cI **h\u2011love** reading\u201d).  \n3. **Teacher Tip Sheet** \u2013 Hand out (see Section\u202f7).  \n\n---\n\n### 7. Quick Guide for the Classroom Teacher  \n\n| Situation | Teacher\u2019s Response (What NOT to Say) | Helpful Response (What to Do) |\n|-----------|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------|\n| **Student begins a sentence and stutters** | \u201cSlow down.\u201d / \u201cTake a breath.\u201d | **Give the student space** \u2013 keep eye contact, stay relaxed, and **wait** for them to finish. |\n| **Student pauses mid\u2011sentence** | \u201cHurry up.\u201d | **Maintain the flow of the lesson** \u2013 continue listening, then move on naturally after the student finishes. |\n| **Peer reacts to the stutter** | \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d | **Model respectful listening** \u2013 nod, keep a neutral facial expression, and **avoid finishing the sentence** for the student. |\n| **Student appears frustrated** | \u201cYou\u2019re doing it again.\u201d | **Validate feelings** \u2013 \u201cI see that was tough. Let\u2019s try the easy\u2011onset we practiced.\u201d Offer a brief, private check\u2011in if needed. |\n| **Group activity requiring oral responses** | \u201cEveryone else is fine.\u201d | **Provide a cue card** (e.g., a small \u201csoft\u2011start\u201d picture) the student can glance at before speaking. Allow extra response time without drawing attention. |\n| **When the student uses a strategy (easy\u2011onset or pull\u2011out)** | \u201cThat\u2019s weird.\u201d | **Positive reinforcement** \u2013 \u201cGreat soft start on that word!\u201d or \u201cNice pull\u2011out, you kept the sentence moving.\u201d Keep feedback brief and specific. |\n\n**Additional Teacher Tips**\n\n- **Seat the student** where they can see the board and the teacher clearly, reducing the need to strain for visual cues.  \n- **Use visual supports** (e.g., a \u201ctalk\u2011partner\u201d card) that the student can hold to remind peers to give them space.  \n- **Incorporate short \u201ctalk\u2011time\u201d blocks** (2\u20113\u202fmin) where the whole class practices easy\u2011onset together; this normalizes the technique.  \n- **Document** any observed use of the strategies on a simple checklist (e.g., \u2714\ufe0f easy\u2011onset used during reading). Share this with the SLP during monthly meetings.  \n\n---\n\n### 8.
