117: 3 Ways To Get More Buy In From Teachers To Work Together To Support Our Students

We know that working together with other professionals in the school is an amazing way to get better outcomes for our students, so in this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, we are talking about how to get more buy-in from teachers in order to better support our students.

When I first started working as a speech therapist, I had a lot of grand ideas of how I would collaborate and communicate with the teachers to help my students ace their tests and hit their goals. I went out of my way to check in with them so we could work together and…crickets! 

When following up with them, I found that it was because they really didn’t understand what I do as an SLP and how I help students. They assume that all we do is help them with their speech and articulation, but we all know that’s not true. 

Speech therapy can drastically improve a student’s educational outcomes when the teachers and SLPs work together. But how do we do that?

Tune in to this week’s episode to hear my top three tips for opening up the conversion with the teachers without making them feel like even more work is being thrown at them.
