Too many SLPs feel pressured to bring brand-new activities to every session—but that actually slows progress and burns you out.
In today's episode, I explain why sticking with one structured teaching activity (like the workbooks inside our Curriculum) creates better, faster results… and how AI can fill in the gaps with unlimited, customized practice.
We walk through a real example targeting vocabulary skills—from early word learning all the way up to advanced word-attack strategies—and I show you exactly where AI fits in to boost engagement and mastery.
You'll learn:
-
Why you don't need endless activities to teach a skill (goodbye late nights scouring TPT!)
-
How to build a start-to-finish plan that uses skill progressions to systematically teach skills
-
When to pause and provide more practice before moving on
-
How AI can instantly generate custom materials: word lists, images, prompts, stories, social scenarios, and more
-
How this approach keeps therapy fun, consistent, and effective without adding extra work to your plate
Whether you use my Curriculum or your own materials, this episode will help you simplify your planning, reduce burnout, and keep clients excited to learn.
Listen in and learn how to make AI your new therapy sidekick!
