I’ve been thinking about WH questions and ways to break down these questions to target within therapy. As I was working on my post about WHEN questions, I started thinking about how embedded time concepts are within this question. If students don’t have a good understanding of time, it will be difficult for them to […]

I admire my friends and colleagues who success with resolutions. I’m just not that disciplined. So instead, […]

WHY questions move from providing factual information to incorporating reasoning and early problem solving skills. We need to think about the situation asked in the question and then determine a reason WHY […]

My SLP Story
What inspired you to become a speech language pathologist? I’m linking up with the Frenzied SLPs to share my #SLPStory. My #slpstory started with a happy accident.

Size of the Problem: Situational Reactions
Have you ever had a student who had BIG reactions to problems? Maybe when they didn’t get to be the blue marker, they would get upset and hide under the table.
