How Did You Get Your Client to Do That?

SLP

This question comes to me a lot! How did you get your client to do that? I’ve also heard, “Wow! That session ran so smoothly!” I have been practicing for over 23 years and yes, it has taken a lot of practice, and sessions don’t always go as planned. However, I will share with you my tips and tricks that lead to successful, productive speech therapy sessions. In this hour-long course you’ll learn how to plan and execute a more efficient therapy session. While mistakes are a part of the learning process, I’ll give you practical and tangible tips to course-correcting and getting your sessions back on track!
