The vast majority of school-based SLPs don’t have perfectly matched groups, and that doesn’t mean therapy has to be less effective. With the right structure and planning strategy, mixed groups can actually become a powerful way to target multiple goals, support peer learning, and simplify your workload. In this episode, we walk through a practical framework for running structured, efficient therapy sessions, even when your groups include different grade levels and goals.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. How to segment your caseload so you can plan therapy more efficiently
2. Why language-rich thematic units help you target multiple goals at once
3. A simple way to let students build on each other’s responses in mixed groups
4. How the "Check in → Assess → Teach → Practice → Wrap up" structure reduces cognitive load
5. Three small strategies you can implement immediately to make sessions easier

If you'd like help setting this up for your own caseload, you can explore the tools and units inside a free trial at slpnow.com/pod.

If you had five extra hours this week (completely protected from meetings, paperwork, and emails), how would you use them? Many school-based SLPs say they’d spend that time collaborating with teachers, analyzing student progress, planning more intentional therapy, or simply taking a real lunch break. In this episode, we explore why those meaningful parts of the job often get squeezed out + what you can do to start reclaiming that time.

In this episode, we discuss:

1. Why the gap many SLPs feel isn’t a competence problem
2. How reducing rework can save hours of therapy planning each week
3. Simple ways to batch decisions and reduce decision fatigue
4. Why tracking your “invisible work” can help advocate for a more manageable workload

If therapy planning, paperwork, and prep are taking over your evenings and weekends, you can start your free trial at slpnow.com/pod to explore tools designed to help you streamline the process and get that time back.

School-based SLPs don’t struggle with planning because they’re disorganized; they struggle because their workload is overflowing. And when something has to give, therapy planning is often the first thing sacrificed. But thoughtful, structured planning is what actually makes therapy more efficient and effective.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. A simple 5-step session structure to reduce cognitive load
2. How to use goal-aligned materials to plan in minutes (not hours)
3. Why thematic units dramatically cut decision fatigue
4. A 30-second habit that makes future planning easier
5. How structure improves student progress and behavior

If you’re ready to make therapy planning sustainable, start your free trial at slpnow.com/pod and put these systems into action.

A caseload of 63 students doesn’t tell the full story of your job. School-based SLPs juggle therapy, evaluations, IEP meetings, Medicaid billing, AAC programming, travel time, and more — yet capacity is often measured by one number. In this episode, we unpack the difference between caseload and workload, why “the math isn’t mathing,” and how to shift the conversation with clarity and confidence.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. The difference between caseload and workload (and why it matters)
2. Four principles to manage impossible workloads
3. How to protect your contract hours without guilt
4. Simple ways to document and make your workload visible
5. How to approach administrators with clear, objective data

If paperwork and planning are part of your overwhelm, check out our free trial at slpnow.com/pod.

Paperwork doesn’t have to be the reason this job feels unsustainable. In this final episode of our paperwork series, we zoom out and look at why burnout is often a systems problem (not a passion problem), and what actually helps school-based SLPs get paperwork done more efficiently. You’ll hear practical ways to reduce cognitive load, create repeatable workflows, and make steady progress without adding more stress to your plate.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

1. Identify your biggest paperwork stressors and prioritize what matters most
2. Use a “buffet” approach to implement systems without overwhelm
3. Plan IEPs and evaluations in a way that supports working ahead
4. Create reliable workflows that make paperwork feel manageable and sustainable

If you’re ready to make paperwork feel lighter, pick one strategy from this episode and try it this week.

Writing IEPs and evaluations doesn’t have to feel like starting from scratch every single time. In this episode, we break down simple, systems-based strategies that help school-based SLPs write reports faster—without cutting corners or second-guessing their clinical decisions. You’ll learn how small shifts, like templates and text expanders, can reduce overwhelm, boost confidence, and make paperwork feel far more manageable.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

1. Eliminate “blank page syndrome” when writing reports
2. Use templates to streamline IEPs and evaluations
3. Avoid common copy-and-paste mistakes
4. Save hours during progress note season

👉 Tune in to start building a calmer, more efficient paperwork system you can actually sustain.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Feeling overwhelmed by the referral process? You’re not alone, and there is a better way. In this episode, I’m walking you through five simple but powerful questions to help you audit your current referral workflow. Whether you’re chasing down forms, drowning in springtime referrals, or just winging it with every new case, this quick audit will help you spot what’s working—and what’s not.

Referrals shouldn't feel this overwhelming, but--for most school-based SLPs--they do. In this episode, I’m diving into the real data behind referral stress, straight from 434 SLPs who shared their biggest challenges. From missing background info to that infamous springtime referral flood, we’re unpacking why this process is so hard. If you’ve ever felt stuck, rushed, or just plain exhausted by referrals, this one’s for you. You’re not alone, and there is a better way.

As school-based SLPs, there are a LOT of activities that we're pouring our energy into. It’s super important that we take care of ourselves in between all that giving, otherwise we’ll find ourselves on the fast track to burnout.

That’s why this conversation about self-care for SLPs matters so much. The only way you can show up for others is by showing up for yourself; you have to fill that bucket of energy before it’s empty, and that’s what we’re talking about in this episode!

In this episode, Marisha and Laura discuss:

• Why self-kindness and self-care are individual journeys
• How you can pour into your self-care bucket throughout the day
• Ways that Marisha and Laura practice self-care
• Why getting curious is an important part of the self-care process
• Getting off the hamster wheel of ineffective self-care (that actually make you feel worse!)

So far, we’ve used Dr. Ukrainetz’s literacy-based therapy framework to work through a month of therapy planning for five units: a play-based early language unit (slpnow.com/183), a picture book (slpnow.com/184), a fiction article (slpnow.com/185), a non-fiction article (slpnow.com/186), and a science experiment (slpnow.com/187).

Today, we’re going to talk about therapy planning for a vocational unit!

This unit is ideal for students who are working on functional communication skills, and using language in “real world” situations versus a classroom environment.

For these episode, we’re going to use a unit from the SLP Now membership that’s about ordering fast food. We chose this unit because it’s something students are very motivated by, and it’s a lot of fun to work with.

This unit includes a video and script to use, or you can write your own. There are so many ways to get creative and target language skills in a super practical way!

In the episode, Marisha talks about therapy plans that target:

• Functional communication skills
• Sequencing and perspective taking
• Comparing and contrasting
• Grammar and syntax
• Vocabulary

…and more!

All of the activities in this unit are language rich, and they provide the perfect context to target almost any goal in your speech therapy sessions—even if you’re working on multiple goals with mixed groups.

So far, we’ve created a month of therapy plan for four units: a play-based early language unit (slpnow.com/183), a picture book (slpnow.com/184), a fiction article (slpnow.com/185), and a non-fiction article (slpnow.com/186).

Today, we’re going to talk about therapy planning journey for a science experiment!

This unit is ideal for or students who need a high quality contextualized activity, but may be resistant to using a text. It’s also great for students who are working on social language or problem solving skills because the activities mimic a classroom environment.

The five steps we’re going to follow for a science experiment unit are a little different than literacy-based therapy because we aren’t using a text. Our new checklist looks like this:

1. Plan and Prepare
2. Watch and Do
3. Reflect and Troubleshoot
4. Discussion, and
5. Focused Skill Activities

Like the literacy-based units we’ve talked about in the past, these activities are incredibly language rich. They can be used to target goals for vocabulary, grammar, syntax, following directions, asking questions, collaborating with peers, and more—even if you’re working with mixed groups.

Today, we’re going to take the next step on our therapy planning journey and dig into a non-fiction article, “Wild Calls in the Springtime Sky.”

This unit is ideal for students in third grade and up, or if they have a good mastery of narrative language. It’s a great way to target more expository language!

In the episode, Marisha talks about using literacy-based therapy to target:

• Grammar and syntax
• Vocabulary goals
• Asking and answering questions
• Producing compound and complex sentences

…and more!

In the last couple episodes, we've been exploring literacy-based therapy plans that will help you target your students’ goals across multiple ages, group sizes, and skill levels.

We covered therapy planning for an early language unit in episode 183, plans for a picture book unit in episode 184, and today we’re going to dig into the third part of this six week series with a fiction article: Miss Johnson’s Plant Experiment.

This unit is specifically designed for older students who still benefit from narrative support, but are capable of reading longer and more complex texts. There is a lot of research showing us that targeting narratives through high school has a positive impact on learning, and so many activities we can use to embed those skills.

In the episode, we discuss Dr. Ukrainetz’s five step literacy-based therapy framework, using it to target goals like:

• Articulation
• Grammar and syntax
• Answering questions
• Vocabulary targets
• Describing activities

…and more!

All of the activities in this unit are language rich, and they provide the perfect context to target almost any goal in your speech therapy sessions—even if you’re targeting multiple goals with mixed groups.

Early language books include simpler stories that students love. This unit type is ideal for students who might not be ready to sit through a longer story, are working on more foundational language skills, and who benefit from more of a play-based approach.

In the episode, we discuss Dr. Ukrainetz’s five step literacy-based therapy framework, targeting goals like:

• Basic vocabulary
• Basic concepts
• Grammar goals
• Answering questions

In this episode, Marisha talks about:

• What a probe is and why it’s so valuable
• The best time to collect probe data
• How probe data influences your session plan
• Using probe data in mixed groups

Remember: If we’re not in that zone of proximal development (a.k.a. the space between what a student is capable of doing unsupported, and what they cannot do even with support) we risk hindering their progress because we aren’t giving them the opportunity to practice the skill independently and demonstrate that mastery.

Collecting probe data gives us valuable data that helps us find the sweet spot of where the student needs support. This minimizes the student’s frustration if there isn’t enough support — or boredom if there is too much — and sets everyone up for success. 💪

Progress reports may make some SLPs sweat, but hopefully there are others (like Marisha!) who think of it as a fun opportunity to celebrate student progress. After all, the point of working smarter is to have more time for the fun stuff, right?!

Marisha actually thinks it’s kind of cool to look back at the data and realize how far her students have come. Getting to write up all the progress goodness and share it with the students’ parents is just the sprinkles on the progress cake.

At the same time, Marisha knows that the process can be a little bit overwhelming. That's why she wanted to share her three step process for writing progress reports and notes on this week’s episode of the podcast.

From collecting session data to setting up your progress note template and reviewing goal progress — at the end of this episode, you’ll be just a few clicks away from a stress-free progress reporting experience!

Parallel stories are an incredible way to integrate all of the skills that we've targeted throughout our literacy-based units. The goal of this activity is to pull the vocabulary, sentence structures, and plot elements from the story you’ve been using, and then use them to create something new.

This is a lot like story generation, but we have a jumping off point to draw inspiration from thanks to the previous story. We can use those building blocks to integrate the skills that we’ve targeted in a fresh — and fun — way.

In this episode, Marisha talks about:

• Getting student buy-in, and why they love this step so much
• Using visuals like a graphic organizer to piece together story grammar elements
• Creating a parallel story for “Snowman at Night”, replacing the snowmen with cacti
• Extending the activity by creating something students can take home and share

Remember: The most meaningful practice our students can get happens outside of the speech room, and in the context of their real lives. Our job is to help them develop their language skills — so they can tell (and retell!) a story they’re proud of.

Literacy-based therapy offers a great framework to support the development of language underpinnings, and at SLP Now, we like to talk about one that was developed by Dr. Ukrainetz.

Her framework for literacy-based therapy includes five steps: pre-story knowledge activation, reading the book, post-story comprehension, focused skill activities, and creating a parallel story.

Using this framework, you can target almost any goal — but it’s really important to be strategic when you’re selecting a text, especially if you want to create a whole month of therapy plans using just one book! That’s why today’s episode is about how to choose the right book for literacy-based therapy.

In the episode, Marisha talks about:

• Criteria to select texts that can be used in a functional and therapeutic way
• The best length of book to use
• What happened when she didn’t follow these criteria
• Targeting multiple goals with one book
• When to use an expository text versus narrative structure
• What to do if the text you’ve selected doesn’t have appropriate targets
• Aligning texts with the curriculum

Marisha wants to assure you that using a framework isn't about creating a checklist and following it mindlessly; it's about having a framework for your therapy sessions so that your work (and life!) feels easier. And of course, there is tons of research to support the benefits of incorporating routines into therapy.

Implementing a routine frees up cognitive resources that would be spent trying to figure out what's next in the session — and this applies to students and SLPs.

Just think about what you could do with that freed up brain power!

In the episode, Marisha shares the five step framework she uses to structure her therapy sessions:

Check in

Assess

Teach

Practice

Marisha gives details about why each step matters, offers examples of the framework in practice, and illustrates ways that clinical experience + judgment inform the application.

From the top, she stresses the importance of adjusting your mindset and embracing the positive aspects of mixed groups in speech therapy. She acknowledges the real challenges associated with mixed groups but also underscores the substantial benefits.

While one-on-one therapy is sometimes the best option, there are situations where grouping students becomes a necessity. In Marisha's experience, working in schools with extensive caseloads required her to provide services to multiple students simultaneously. In such settings, there's simply not enough time in the day to accommodate one-on-one therapy for all students.

For Marisha, this experience highlighted the value of focusing on the positive aspects of mixed groups, and she found herself incorporating them into her sessions more and more.

Marisha highlights that mixed groups can serve as a platform for students to act as valuable role models, enhancing the generalization of skills. Students can scaffold and support each other, creating a dynamic and positive learning environment that's just not possible in one-on-one sessions.

In the episode, Marisha covers:

• How to embrace and lean into the positive aspects of mixed groups
• Setting up a strong data collection system
• The importance of preparing your visuals
• Creating a routine for your sessions
• Why planning ahead will prevent you from scrambling

If a lack of confidence is getting in the way of you making speech therapy magic happen with mixed groups, then this podcast episode is exactly what you need!

We hope these tips will help you see the benefits of mixed groups and how they can foster a positive learning experience for your students — so that you can show up and do your best SLP work by working smarter, not harder.

Whether it's new research, innovative interventions, or creative caseload management techniques, she's always eager to learn more.

One of Marisha’s favorite ways to learn and connect with fellow SLPs is by attending conferences. She loves how conferences offer a perfect blend of learning opportunities and the chance to connect with incredible SLPs like you!

But even with all her experience attending conferences, Marisha knows that the amount of options and information can sometimes be overwhelming.

Should I learn something new, or should I focus on perfecting what I already know?

Questions like this can cause some serious stress. That’s why Marisha started developing systems to make the most of these fantastic (albeit sometimes overwhelming and expensive 😅) learning opportunities.

In today's episode of the SLP Now podcast, Marisha shares her top three tips to help you make the most of your next SLP conference.

In the episode, we cover:

• Selecting courses that align with your caseload
• Setting up a smart note-taking system
• Managing your CEUs like a pro

Self-reflection involves taking a moment to go inward and think about our thoughts, feelings, and actions. By being mindful and reflective, we can better understand our own learning processes and improve our problem-solving abilities, emotional regulation, and self-awareness.

While self-reflection has many benefits, it can be challenging to face truths we’d sometimes rather avoid and be objective about our own behavior. It's important to remember that self-reflection is a practice, and we don't have to be perfect. Building in small moments of self-reflection throughout our day, such as through journaling, can be helpful in developing this skill.

Ultimately, self-reflection allows us to show up for ourselves and others in a more intentional and compassionate way, leading to greater job satisfaction as an SLP — and — less burnout.

In the episode, Marisha and Laura talk about:

• The benefits of self-reflection
• What self-reflection looks like in the moment
• The power of creating space for yourself
• Building pockets of reflection into your day
• Embracing self-reflection and growth as a lifelong journey

As school-based SLPs, there are a LOT of activities that we're pouring our energy into. It’s super important that we take care of ourselves in between all that giving, otherwise we’ll find ourselves on the fast track to burnout.

That’s why this conversation about self-care for SLPs matters so much. The only way you can show up for others is by showing up for yourself; you have to fill that bucket of energy before it’s empty, and that’s what we’re talking about in this episode!

On this episode, Marisha and Laura discuss:

• Why self-kindness and self-care are individual journeys
• How you can pour into your self-care bucket throughout the day
• Ways that Marisha and Laura practice self-care
• Why getting curious is an important part of the self-care process
• Getting off the hamster wheel of ineffective self-care (that actually make you feel worse!)

Resources Mentioned:

• Fill a Bucket: A Guide to Daily Happiness for Young Children
