What to Do When a Session Doesn't Go as Planned

What to Do When a Session Doesn't Go as Planned8. Sept.9 Min.

Show Notes: slpnow.com/268

When a session goes sideways, I do not assume I did something wrong. In this episode, I walk through how I use my five-step session structure, Check-in, Assess, Teach, Practice, and Wrap Up, as a flexible guide and a reflection tool.

I share how to spot where a session got stuck, what to adjust next time, and why backtracking is a normal part of clinical decision-making. We also talk about using documentation to remember what worked, so we can keep working smarter, not harder.
