Ep 145: What We've Learned From Implementing Episodes of Care & Therapeutic Breaks for Our Clients
Do you ever notice that other professions tend to dismiss students after they've met short term goals? Yet as SLPs, we can have the same students for years? Have you heard about the effectiveness of short-term more intensive therapy, and are you curious about implementing it? Are your students with high support needs always in school or therapy - and you'd love to see them have breaks from therapy?
Then you are in the right place! In this episode Sarah is jointed by Christine Popp and Kristen Monroe from Children's Hospital Richmond as they share more about implementing a 12-week episode of care, followed by a 12-week therapeutic break for their students - and how it can benefit students, families, and SLPs alike.
