Speech Dude & Jessie Ginsburg
About this episode

Are you ready to transform your speech sessions with your autistic clients?

Day 2 of the Sensory Mini Course for SLPs is all on sensory strategies for your speech sessions. 

In this episode, we’re diving into:

✔️ How to use sensory strategies effectively in speech sessions (without turning you into an OT).

✔️ The 2 types of kids who benefit from sensory strategies —those who need
sensory input throughout the entire session and those who need sensory activities strategically dispersed.

✔️ How to build regulation within sessions to help kids stay engaged, regulated, and communicative.

✔️ And more!

PLUS, you can earn PDHs for listening!
