Thinking you need a scope and sequence for language therapy? Think again.

If you’re an SLP who’s wondering how you can effectively address complex skills relating to both language and executive functioning in the school systems…

The primary challenge is that BOTH language and executive functioning are incredibly complicated. Even just focusing on one or the other can be overwhelming.

Layer on the challenges with the way related service providers are expected to provide interventions in the schools, and it seems impossible.

Unfortunately, that challenge has resulted in debates on whether executive functioning is more important than language and vice versa, which isn’t useful.

You don’t have to decide which is more important. They both are.

We need to find a way to address them both. I help clinicians do that with a concept I call “cycling”.

What I do is teach clinicians a set of core treatment techniques that fit within a set of foundational areas that support language and executive functioning.

That’s why in this episode, I share how to target both language and executive functioning in direct intervention with enough depth that you get results.

In this episode, I reveal:

✅ When it’s appropriate to think of language intervention in terms of working up a hierarchy of skills, and when it doesn’t.

✅ Why using treatment cycles is more effective than trying to pin down a “scope and sequence” for language and cognitive intervention.

✅ How to use intervention cycles to build a language therapy system, and eventually move on to layering in more robust executive functioning support.
