Are you spending a huge chunk of your time on students who are technically "still on your caseload"… but honestly should be transitioning out of direct services?
In this episode, we're talking about one of the biggest drains on SLP time: students who linger in direct services longer than necessary — even after they've learned the skills they needed from us.
And here's the thing: fast-tracking dismissal isn't selfish. It's actually:
better for the student,
better for the classroom,
better for the SLP,
and more aligned with what school-based services are supposed to be.
I'm walking you through a clear, step-by-step process for moving students through the final phase of therapy, including:
✅ progress monitoring with the team
✅ how to explain the therapy process to families and teachers
✅ how to decide what "phase" the student is truly in
✅ what to do when the student needs generalization support (not more therapy)
✅ and how to shift the work to the adults who are with them all day — where generalization actually happens
If you're ready to reclaim your time, reduce your caseload load, and help students get what they truly need (without keeping them in speech forever), this episode is for you.
