As SLPs, all we want to do is help kids with their communication...

But when we're constantly "managing" behaviors, it's hard to feel like we're getting anything done.

HERE'S WHAT MOST THERAPISTS MISS...

A behavior might look the same...but be happening for VERY different reasons.

A child is throwing Pop the Pig across your therapy room.

Another child is chewing on all of your markers.

And another is running away, screaming, or hitting you.

 

But here's the question: Do you know WHY?

Because a child who is overwhelmed by sensory input may need something very different from a child who is experiencing emotional distress.

And when we misunderstand what's happening beneath the surface, we can spend an entire session trying strategies that aren't addressing what the child actually needs.

The problem isn't necessarily that you need more regulation strategies.

It's that you need to know which type of approach to use and WHY.

That's exactly what we're going to explore in this free masterclass.

What You'll Learn in this Masterclass:

✓ A system for easily identifying the root cause of a behavior

 

✓ What sensory and emotional dysregulation look like in your students

 

✓ Knowing what type of approach to use based on the type of dysregulation

Hi - I'm Jessie!

I'm a sensory-trained SLP and owner of a top-rated clinic in Los Angeles where our team sees about 200 kids a week. 

I've trained thousands of SLPs how to integrate sensory strategies into their speech sessions so their clients can be more regulated and engaged. And I would love to teach you some of these life-changing strategies!
