Why a curriculum

Resource libraries give you activities. A curriculum gives you a path.

Piecing it together

A folder of TPT downloads and a lot of guessing

4Built-in data collection
Dismissal criteria you can defend
How it works

Five steps. Screening to dismissal.

The Dismiss step is what makes it a system, not a pile of materials. No more chaos. No more guessing.

STEP 1

Screen

A quick decision-tree screener pinpoints exactly where a child needs support.

STEP 2

Set the goal

Pick the next skill in the sequence and get a measurable goal, ready for the IEP.

STEP 3

Teach

Open the lesson: teaching script, visuals, and activities. No prep.

STEP 4

Track

Data collection is built into every goal packet, so progress reports write themselves.

STEP 5 · THE FINISH LINE

Dismiss

Team-based tracking and clear exit criteria get students caught up and back to everyday life without lingering in therapy.

What Others are Saying:

Ive been using “the Hub” ever since I joined and I noticed a great improvement in articulation students and Kinder language students using this program.  It helped me move through their goals sequentially and allowed me to cycle through many goals during the year.  Great way to involve the family with carryover also!

I feel so much relief knowing that I don’t need to reinvent the wheel and that I can provide not only myself, but my client’s parents with a clear path towards his treatment plan, instead of the scattered thoughts and half-baked ideas that I’ve been struggling with! This site as a resource is worth its weight in gold – I especially absolutely appreciate that the modules cite sources and evidence-based information. Thanks again for being an oasis in the vast desert. 🙂

About the Author: Carrie Clark, MA CCC-SLP

Hi! I’m Carrie Clark and I used to be a struggling SLP.

I loved my clients but I was constantly feeling overwhelmed by the demands of my job.

I spent my weekend scouring TPT, printing, laminating, taking courses, etc. But still I always felt like I was barely keeping my head above water.

One day, I was sitting at a presentation at the MSHA convention and the presenter explained something that changed how I thought about speech therapy. It was a simple idea about breaking larger tasks down into step-by-step plans. But suddenly I could see how we could create systems to simplify speech/language therapy.

So I set off on a journey to find the BEST ways to teach communication skills with as little stress on SLPs and other team members as possible.

It’s been a wild roller coaster of a ride, but after 14 years of exploring options, creating solutions, and getting feedback from my amazing community, the SLK Curriculum was born!

Our new program is a comprehensive Curriculum with multiple paths, programs, and options that allow clinicians to completely customize therapy while using plug-and-play programs that take seconds to play and prep and include both data collection and therapy activities built in.

Are you done with your old way of doing therapy? Are you ready to try something new? Because inside the SLK Community, we’re building the future of Speech/Language Pathology.

And the future doesn’t include an ounce of burnout.

How to Do Speech Therapy For…

Autism Spectrum Disorders are a developmental disorder that impacts communication and social skills.  To learn more about helping a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder, click here.

Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a motor speech disorder where children have difficulty producing many sounds to form words.  To learn more about helping a child with CAS, click here.

The term dyslexia is used to describe a person’s difficulty reading printed words even though he/she has normal intelligence and received appropriate reading instruction.  To view all of our resources on dyslexia, click here

Some children with hearing loss may benefit from speech-language therapy.  To find out more about supporting a child with hearing loss, click here.

Language skills include our ability to use words to create sentences and to communicate with others.  There are many different types of language delays and disorders.  To learn about the different types of language problems, click the links below:

According to the Hanen Centre Website, a late talker is defined as a child that is 18-30 months of age who seems to understand language well but does not talk or say words as much as is expected for a child that age. Late talkers are typically developing well in other areas such as play skills, motor skills, thinking skills, etc.

There are many reasons that a child may not be speaking.  When a child is not able to speak, we can help find alternative means for that child to communicate or we can teach them words one by one so that they have some means of functional communication.

To see all of our resources for helping a child with functional communication, click here!

Children with a phonological delay or disorder have trouble saying entire classes of sounds.  For example, they may replace all back sounds (like /k/ and /g/) with front sounds (like /t/ and /d/).  Or they may replace all long sounds (like /s/, /z/, and /f/) with short sounds (like /t/, /d/, and /p/).  We can help these children learn to speak correctly by replacing these sound substitution rules with the correct sounds.

While speech-language pathologists don’t specifically treat sensory processing disorder, it can often affect a child’s ability to learn and use communication skills.  To see all of our resources for children with sensory and behavior concerns, click here!

Children with social communication impairment have difficulty with the social skills required to interact with others.  There are many different types of social communication problems that might be present.  To see all of our resources on helping children with social communication, click here!

Children with articulation delays or disorders have difficulty saying specific speech sounds.  They may lisp on their /s/ and /z/ sounds.  Or they may use a /w/ instead of an /r/.  Children can struggle with any or all of the speech sounds.  To see all of our resources for helping children learn to say speech sounds correctly, click here!

Children who stutter have trouble with speaking smoothly and fluently.  They may repeat sounds, syllables, or whole words multiple times before moving on to the rest of what they want to say.  Or, they may seem to get stuck on a certain sound or appear to be struggling to get sounds or words out.  To see all of our resources for children with fluency disorder, click here!

Selective mutism is a diagnosis that describes a child who does not speak in certain situations where speech is expected (such as at school or in public) but is able to speak normally in at least one other setting (such as at home).   To see all of our resources on selective mutism, click here

Voice and resonance disorders involve the quality of the child’s voice and speech.  Harsh, raspy, breathy, nasal, or hoarse voice quality can be the sign of a problem.
