Hey Hey Hey SLPs! Have you ever found yourself looking at your students’ goals and progress and realize that some of the students on your caseload are not where you want them to be? In today’s episode, I will be talking about teacher buy-in. It’s one of those things that is the glue to the collaborative services. And yet it can be so difficult because every team that you work with has different personalities. So that’s why we’re going to be talking about ways to make teacher buy-in successful.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• Success story of teacher buy-in
• Why consistency is important
• Opening the door of communication

There are over 30 toy and game cheat sheet companions to help you have pre-selected targets. I am in the process of creating more, so by June 2022, there will be big updates. Which means the price is gonna go up. If you grab this resource now, you get all updates for free.

 Adapting your toys and games to cover goals can be a great way to increase engagement while meaningfully make progress with the skills your student’s need to practice.

It’s a lot to juggle in a mixed group or with large caseloads. That’s why I wanted something that could help myself and other SLPs conserve brain energy so that by 3pm when the bell rings, I still had some brain cells left to finish that report that’s due the next day .

• Functional communication is more important than academic skills. 
• Share what they can do with the team rather than always focusing on what they can’t do. 
• It takes a team to support Autistic students well, so involve them!
• Incorporate their passions and interests into your sessions
• Just because they didn’t like a toy or activity doesn’t mean you can’t re-introduce it in future sessions. (doggy house, heavy work)
