Align Therapy to the Curriculum to Reduce Planning Time and Increase Outcomes

Collaboration between parents, teachers, and speech pathologists is crucial for children's speech development. Teachers' buy-in is important for aligning therapy goals with classroom curriculum. Regular communication and providing speech therapy materials related to classroom topics can help gain parents' buy-in. Organizing therapy materials by theme helps children connect speech sounds with real-world contexts. Sharing resources and materials related to academic themes during in-service days enhances therapy planning. Borrowing materials and lesson plans from teachers promotes seamless integration between therapy and the classroom. Regular communication and inclusion in lesson plan submissions help speech pathologists stay informed about teachers' work.
