In episode 255 of De Facto Leaders, I elaborate on the concept of using vocabulary as a large “container”, so you can design sessions efficiently without sacrificing quality.
I talk about why more experienced clinicians often struggle to make their interventions scalable, and why this gets in the way of carryover.
I also share the five “containers” I use in my Language Therapy Advance Foundations program that can support skills like reading, writing, spelling, and language processing in ways that can be reinforced outside sessions.
If you have a ton of knowledge relating to language and executive functioning, but don’t know how to organize it into a cohesive system…
If you’re getting results in sessions, but it takes a ton of effort on your part and consumes all your capacity…
If you’re able to scaffold and model “on-the-fly”, but struggle to explain your techniques to others so they can replicate them…
Then you’ll find this concept of “containers” really useful.
You can view the episode and see the handout that explains the “containers” here:
In this episode, I mentioned Language Therapy Advance Foundations, my program that gives speech pathologists a framework for building language skills needed to thrive in school, social situations, and daily life.
