About this episode

Show Notes: slpnow.com/274

Planning for every student or every group can eat up your whole week. In this episode, I walk through the caseload segmentation strategy. You split your caseload into a few segments, and each segment gets one unit. You plan it once and use it with every group in that segment for the whole month.

I share what this looks like for a preschool through 5th grade caseload and for a 6th through 12th grade caseload. We also talk about how to keep your segments flexible and why using the same text across groups makes your clinical thinking sharper.
