00:01:15 Hallie: Welcome to SLP Espresso Discuss, the podcast designed solely for speech language pathologists who work with older college students, grades 4 by 12. I’m your host, Hallie Sherman, your SLP behind Speech Time Enjoyable, the Speech Retreat Convention, and the SLP Elevate membership. And I am thrilled to deliver you conversations, methods, and insights that gives you the jolt of inspiration that you simply want. Whether or not you are tuning in throughout your morning commute, on a break in between classes, or leisure time. I’m right here for you each week. Let’s do that SLPs.
00:01:55 Hallie: Hey, hey, and welcome to a different episode of SLP Espresso Discuss. On this episode, we’re gonna be discussing how we, as SLPs, working with secondary college students, grades 4 by 12, can help lecturers in accommodating our college students with speech and language wants within the classroom. Granted, this episode is especially for these working with older college students, however a variety of the issues we’re sharing right here at present can nonetheless be utilized to the elementary age college students as properly.
00:02:23 Hallie: We will stroll by some sensible ideas for providing lodging ideas which might be straightforward to implement and can make a significant distinction for our college students. So why do lodging matter and why do our college students want it and why is it so vital for us to take the time to share these items with the classroom lecturers? Nicely one, as SLPs, we’re typically working intently with our college students on particular expertise in a small group pullout setting in our speech closets the place our lecturers usually are not conscious what we’re engaged on.
00:02:59 Hallie: And when they’re going again to that classroom or as soon as they’re finished with us, the dynamics change. They’re now not in a bunch of 5 college students and dealing on expertise at their particular person stage and what they individually want. Lodging within the classroom are important for making certain that the progress they make with us interprets and carries over into actual world educational success. And even when we’re pushing into the classroom, we nonetheless must make a sport plan on the best way to assist with carryover and the best way to talk what we’re doing with our college students in order that the lecturers who may not be listening to what we’re doing with our college students are conscious how they’ll help them when we’re not round. We’re typically working with our college students, like I mentioned, in our speech closets, in isolation.
00:03:50 Hallie: And many individuals suppose we’re engaged on the R sound all day. So it is a good way to additionally simply advocate what we’re doing with our college students. But in addition, we solely have them as soon as, twice every week. The lecturers are with them extra typically, and by sharing some lodging with them can actually assist profit our college students. Additionally, it makes educational content material accessible for our college students. Our secondary college students with speech and language wants can typically face distinctive challenges when partaking with summary concepts and the curriculum materials.
00:04:22 Hallie: The curriculum is means difficult and really language wealthy for our college students. And we’re the language consultants. So by recommending applicable lodging, ideas to the lecturers, we can assist make this content material extra accessible and it creates a bridge between what we’re doing and their work and assist with educational success. So what are some key areas that we as SLPs can recommend to the lecturers we’re working with?
00:04:50 Hallie: Listed below are just a few ideas and there are such a lot of below the solar, however I simply needed to offer just a few right here simply to offer you a bit of thought of why it is so vital for us to have these dialogues with the lecturers. Okay, properly processing time. A lot of our college students profit from further processing time to soak up data and formulate responses. We will simply recommend that lecturers incorporate wait time after posing questions, and are contemplating permitting these college students to preview questions or dialogue prompts forward of time.
00:05:20 Hallie: This offers our college students an opportunity to really feel ready and to take part. One other suggestion that we can provide to our lecturers, visible and organizational helps. Visible helps, like graphic organizers, might be extremely useful for our college students who wrestle with organizing their ideas or listening for key phrases. After we introduce these instruments in remedy, we will recommend these ways in which lecturers can incorporate them within the classroom as properly.
00:05:47 Hallie: For instance, if we will share with our lecturers the graphic organizer for engaged on anyone, comparable to utilizing anyone needed, however so then for summarizing. We wish the graphic organizers that we’re utilizing to be the identical graphic organizers that they’re utilizing within the classroom. If it is utterly completely different what we’re doing with them in our remedy room, with what the lecturers are doing, we’re setting our college students up for failure. We’re not setting them up for achievement if it isn’t the identical precise factor. One other space that we will recommend lodging for is other ways to exhibit information.
00:06:25 Hallie: One other efficient lodging is providing completely different ways in which our college students can present what they know. As an alternative of simply placing them on the spot in entrance of sophistication, we’d recommend that they’ll present a written reflection or a recorded response. We will recommend that lecturers give college students the choice that align with their strengths, which might scale back nervousness, whereas permitting them nonetheless to take part and exhibit what they know. So these are simply three examples, however clearly extra can come into play, particularly if we have now college students engaged on articulation. One thing I’ve finished with my classroom lecturers is sharing with them a hand sign that they’ll use with the coed if they need the coed to repeat themselves or say it once more in a slower price of speech or one thing.
00:07:09 Hallie: This fashion they don’t seem to be embarrassed in entrance of their friends. How can we share a few of these issues with our lecturers in order that what we’re doing in our remedy room might be carried over into the classroom? Okay, so now you are most likely saying, okay, Hallie, however I’m so busy. I’ve 100 college students on my caseload. I am in three completely different buildings. When am I speculated to current lodging, ideas to the lecturers?
00:07:34 Hallie: And once more, we have now lots on our plate. We do not at all times have the identical frequent planning time because the lecturers. Oftentimes, we’d have a special prep interval or you probably have prep in any respect or in case you’re pulling college students out of specials and that is when the lecturers have off or no matter. And in addition, it may be intimidating to inform others the best way to do their job. Perhaps you are a CF or nonetheless newer within the area or new working with this age group and also you’re working with or possibly you simply do not like having that confrontation.
00:08:05 Hallie: Simply know that it is for our college students’ greatest pursuits and it isn’t us telling them the best way to do their job, it is us sharing our experience and the way we can assist them do their job. So it is serving our college students, not telling others what to do. Okay, so listed below are some ideas to assist relay this data with ease. One is simply speaking it clearly and virtually. Lecturers are busy identical to us.
00:08:32 Hallie: So protecting ideas concise and real looking is crucial. Current the lodging in a means that highlights the benefit of implementation and the profit to each the coed and the trainer. An instance could possibly be saying one thing like, hey, so and so. A easy solution to help scholar title within the space of clean might be, , after which simply give them a fast instance of the way you used it, , how they did with that suggestion in your remedy room generally simply displaying them, hey, , I seen so-and-so did higher after I did this. I wish to share this tip with you.
00:09:09 Hallie: And it could possibly be a fast e mail. It could possibly be a fast, , sharing it in passing. It would not have to be fancy. Okay? So simply hitting it shortly and giving an instance of the way it can assist them, finished. Quantity two is connecting it to the training targets of the coed. So by linking every lodging that you simply’re sharing with the lecturers to the scholars’ studying targets and the way it’s gonna assist them academically can assist the trainer see the why behind it, proper? We’re at all times questioning, okay, like why am I engaged on this faculty? How is it serving to them? Identical factor for once we’re expressing this to the lecturers.
00:09:45 Hallie: So for instance, , hey, simply so , permitting some further processing time will assist scholar higher set up their ideas, which is admittedly gonna help their skill to take part in discussions and enhance their confidence. So I simply needed to share that with you.
00:10:01 Hallie: When lecturers perceive that connection, they’re extra prone to be prepared to pay attention and take the suggestion. After we’re displaying them the way it’s gonna present how the coed might be profitable of their classroom, they need that as properly. We’re all on this for the higher of our college students. And lastly, one other tip is simply stop a fast reference information or simply utilizing a fast reference information or guidelines. By offering the lecturers with a one-page information or a fast guidelines of lodging that could possibly be useful to them, might be very, very useful.
00:10:31 Hallie: It is a easy solution to reinforce the methods that they’ll use each day and say to them, hey, I am solely working with the coed, not sufficient occasions within the week, you are working with them extra. This can actually, actually assist them. It is a fantastic reminder that we’re not instantly at all times out there. It is displaying them, hey, I wish to enable you, however I may not be out there, so here is a fast information for you. And really, in case you’re promoting these items to them in passing, they may not bear in mind both if they’ve one million issues on their plate.
00:11:00 Hallie: So how can we put it in writing, in a information, in a fast guidelines for them, in order that they’ll refer again to it at a later foundation or as wanted? And simply so , you do not have to reinvent any wheel. I’ve a information for you that you should utilize totally free.

As an alternative of going to a present notes and discovering this, go to Instagram when you’ll be able to and ship me the message with the phrase “information.” That’s it and you’ll get it totally free. Okay, what are some long-term advantages of utilizing constant classroom lodging with our college students? Nicely, once more, in fact, it will help generalization. When lecturers use lodging that we propose it reinforces the abilities our college students are engaged on in speech remedy. This help helps college students generalize these expertise and it makes them extra prone to apply what they discovered with us throughout completely different settings, which is what we would like, proper? We wanna present our college students how, hey, what we’re doing in speech is related to their world.

And in addition it empowers our college students, lodging empowers our college students as a result of after they really feel extra supported within the classroom, they’ll be extra prepared to take dangers and interact. And over time, this elevated confidence can result in extra independence and fewer lodging wants as college students turn out to be extra succesful in these areas.
