I just saw this in a local Facebook group about next year changes. Ivy rehab is a massive company and I don’t feel this is accurate. Am I wrong?

Looking for advice for goal ideas. I have a preschool student who has ASD. They qualified last year originally under language for speech services as their expressive speech was pretty echolalic and jargon filled. As I am getting to know the student, they are very bright. They had goal areas for answering yes/no questions, using 2-4 word utterances for variety communicative purposes, and answering simple questions”what” questions. I’m not really sure where to go with them. They can answer concrete yes/no and what questions. They easily use variety of communication intents. But they are hard to understand at times. They have speech sound errors that we could possibly try to target but can be pretty resistant to corrections. I could try adding in a gestalt type goal but I think that’s hard to have in IEPs (understanding at school). Any recommendations on where to go next?

I’m a first semester graduate student looking for some advice. I have one client in my school’s clinic right now. He’s 3;11, and we’re working on final consonant deletion, both production and auditory discrimination. I’m really wanting to incorporate a book activity this session but I’m really struggling with how to utilize it. It’s impossible to find a book that fits our targets perfectly. Should I just use the book as reward system? Try and build our target words around the book? Something else? Please share how you incorporate books into your sessions and modify them to support your client’s goals! Thank you in advance!

I have a student whose IEP is coming up early November. The student has really shown a lot of progress towards their articulation goals and possibly could be dismissed. I don’t think I have enough time to do a re-eval to dismiss before their IEP is due. What do you do in this situation? Hold IEP meeting, go down in minutes, and then do a re-eval? Any advice appreciated!

ETA re-evaluation is needed for dismissal on my stage for speech only students.
