Changing the way SLPs service speech sound disorders in the schools
Manage episode 445125615 series 2826372
Hallie is joined by Mindy Hudon & Rachelle Mauer from Achieve Speech & Language Services, LLC. They are changing the way SLPs service speech sound disorders in the schools.
In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, Hallie Sherman welcomes Mindy Hudon and Rachelle Mauer, co-owners of Achieve Speech and Language Services and the creators of Snappy Speech. This research-based speech sound intervention program is designed to help school-based SLPs work more efficiently by reducing high caseloads, allowing them to focus on what matters most — working at the top of their license. With over 30 years of combined school-based experience, Mindy and Rachelle developed a groundbreaking strategy to alleviate the pressures faced by SLPs in schools.
Mindy is an award-winning author of the graphic novel Kodi’s Adventures: How I Learned to Defeat the Time Snatcher and creator of the Bee A Time Keeper® Clock, a tool designed to help young children develop time management skills. Rachelle, a national trainer and accomplished author-presenter, is known for her expertise in developing and applying cognitive and executive function skills, making her a leader in her field.
Tune in to learn more about their innovative approach to speech sound intervention and how they are changing the landscape for school-based SLPs.
Bullet Points to Discuss:
- The pandemic has increased the need for speech services in schools
- Caseload sizes continue to increase and Shortage of SLPs due to overwhelm
- Students with mild to moderate speech sounds disorders are lingering on IEP's year after year, as well as challenges supporting RTI students.
- High-frequency intervention is the gold standard, but how do busy SLPs manage the time needed to implement this method? - This is the problem we solve.
- Snappy Speech®: use of evidence-based methods and why it works.
- Utilizing extenders to support SLP's and common mistakes
- How can SLP's practice at the top of their license and get back to their passion for the profession!
Here’s what we learned:
- Mindy and Rachelle’s combined 30 years of school-based experience inspired the creation of Snappy Speech.
