Intentional Target Selection: Elevate Your Speech Therapy Game

January 14, 2025 • Erin Larsen of Speech Tea • Season 1 • Episode 22

In this episode of All Things SLP, we’re tackling one of the most critical aspects of effective therapy: choosing intentional targets. Gone are the days of picking targets at random – it’s time to level up your sessions with thoughtful, research-backed decisions that lead to better outcomes for your clients.

We’ll discuss:

The importance of choosing an approach before selecting targets for phonology, articulation, apraxia, and language.
How intentional target selection makes therapy more effective and efficient.
Practical tips for aligning your targets with your client’s individual needs and therapy goals.

🎧 Listen in for actionable strategies you can use right away to reframe your therapy planning and ensure every session moves the needle forward for your clients.
