164: How to Increase Goal Awareness in S...

SLP Now
About this episode

You set the goal, then what? As SLPs we implicitly “know” the importance of goal awareness, but it’s also something that’s really easy to take for granted. You set the goal, talk about it with the student, and then keep it in mind when you’re in session… but how?

Marisha shares her answer to that question in this week’s episode of the podcast, all about increasing goal awareness with your students. She dives into the nitty gritty of how to:

  1. Involve students in the goal creation process
  2. Make goal cards for (or with!) your students
  3. Incorporate the goal cards into your speech routine

There is so much research to support goal awareness promoting better outcomes in therapy, and it’s something Marisha has noticed in her own practice too!

When she makes a habit of reviewing and talking about students’ goals, she’s fascinated by the impact that goal awareness has on their session engagement and progress.
