In a recent survey, only 3.5% of our School SLPs said they felt that their workload was manageable.
Holy.
Smokes.
But don't worry, Speech and Language Kids has decided to take on the mission of fixing school speech this year.
And we're starting with IEPs and other annual service plans.
Join us on today's podcast as we discuss how to create systems that make our IEPs and annual service plans go quickly and smoothly.
We're using pre-made checklists and AI tools to save hours and create therapy plans that help clients move through and OUT of therapy so that they can get back into the classroom and we can finally manage to breathe again. - What if your entire speech therapy caseload could be supported by one organized clinical curriculum instead of dozens of disconnected resources?
In this episode, we're talking about what a clinical curriculum is, why school-based speech-language pathologists and SLPAs need one, and how using a structured system can make therapy more effective, consistent, and easier to plan.
We'll review the most popular clinical curriculums and talk about which population each one is designed for. I'll give you the pros and cons of each of these.
Then, I'll introduce the SLK Clinical Curriculum—a comprehensive system designed specifically for school-based SLPs and SLPAs. It supports your entire caseload, from articulation and language to fluency, AAC, social communication, literacy, motor speech, and more, with clear pathways from evaluation to dismissal.
If you've ever wished you had one roadmap for your therapy instead of reinventing the wheel every week, this episode is for you. - You asked for it — so here it is. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the full Carrie Clark Method and showing you exactly how all the pieces fit together into one simple, repeatable system.
We're talking about how to run your sessions without burning out on prep, how to find and use teaching materials that actually move kids through goals, how to plan an entire month in about 15 minutes, and how to collect meaningful data without making it the center of your universe.
This is the Summer Reset wrap-up you didn't know you needed — and I'm ending it with a big announcement about what's coming for the 2026-2027 school year. (Hint: it's designed specifically for school-based SLPs, and I want your input on what it becomes.)
If you've ever felt like you're spinning your wheels in sessions, piecing together materials from a hundred different places, or dreading data week — this episode is your permission slip to simplify everything.
Hit play, then come find me inside the Hub. Big things are coming. The Summer Planning Hack that SLPs are Doing Right Now to Set Up their Whole Year for Success
22/06/2026 | 15 mins.Ever set up an amazing organization system…only to completely abandon it by October?
In this episode, Carrie breaks down the summer planning hack that SLPs are using right now to set themselves up for a smoother, less chaotic school year — and it works even if you don't have a ton of planning time, your caseload is out of control, or your admin keeps moving the goalposts.
The secret? A simple speech folder system that separates your teaching materials from your engagement activities — so your prep stays low while your sessions stay fresh.
You'll learn:
How to set up a speech folder box (and the teletherapy-friendly version)
A one-skill-per-month planning approach that actually sticks
How to run sessions that alternate between practice and fun without burning yourself out on prep
Why Buttercup's Speech Quests might just become your new best friend
Whether your brain works against you or your schedule does, this system is designed to flex around real life — so you can actually stay organized, not just get organized.
