Description

In this bonus episode of SLP Coffee Talk, Hallie’s keeping it real with the story that changed everything—how one tough fifth grader inspired her “Quick Wins” strategy and reshaped her whole approach to therapy. If you’ve ever struggled to reach a resistant student, this one’s for you. Hallie shares how understanding, creativity, and compassion can turn frustration into progress—and why helping students feel seen and successful matters more than any worksheet ever could.

Bullet Points to Discuss: 

• The real story behind how “Quick Wins” was born. 
• What one tough student taught Hallie about confidence and trust. 
• Why meeting students where they are changes everything. 
• How to give students early, authentic wins in speech. 
• A peek into Hallie’s new book, Secondary SLP Roadmap.

Here’s what we learned: 

• Small wins build big confidence—for your students and for you. 
• Meeting students where they are creates trust and real progress. 
• Success starts when students feel seen, capable, and safe. 
• Every tough session is a chance to rethink, adapt, and grow. 
• Helping students believe they can is the most powerful therapy of all.
