Intervention Scenario: Narrative Language Therapy
Example | Language & Articulation in Self-Contained Setting
It’s the first day of speech therapy for the entire school year. I have four students in the 3rd grade. These students were on my caseload last year, so I am familiar with them.
Example | Narrative Language in Middle School Resource Setting
I am working with two middle school students that have mild intellectual disabilities. They are both working on “textual problem-solving.”
