School-based SLPs don’t struggle with planning because they’re disorganized; they struggle because their workload is overflowing. And when something has to give, therapy planning is often the first thing sacrificed. But thoughtful, structured planning is what actually makes therapy more efficient and effective.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  1. A simple 5-step session structure to reduce cognitive load
  2. How to use goal-aligned materials to plan in minutes (not hours)
  3. Why thematic units dramatically cut decision fatigue
  4. A 30-second habit that makes future planning easier
  5. How structure improves student progress and behavior
