The Secondary SLP Roadmap Episode 4
Monday, 23 March, 2026
In this episode, we discuss Chapters 5 and 6 of The Secondary SLP Roadmap by Hallie Sherman, which focus on connection over data collection and the importance of incorporating students’ interests into therapy. We talk about why building trust and rapport with secondary students is such an important part of meaningful intervention and how relationships can support engagement and progress. These chapters also highlight the value of using student interests to make sessions more relevant, motivating, and age respectful. We reflect on the balance between collecting useful data and staying present in the interaction so therapy does not start to feel disconnected or overly rigid. If you work with middle or high school students, this conversation offers helpful reminders about what really helps therapy feel meaningful and effective.You can check out Adrianne's app, Say Hello, by going to sayhellospeech.com/say-hello-app.View the app in the Apple App Store here and on Google Play here.Find great shirts, sweatshirts, and wall art for SLPs in Laura's Etsy shop, Sunshine Speech Studio.If you love what we're doing at the SLP Book Club, please consider leaving us a 5-star rating and review wherever you listen.
