Keep the Writing Process in the Therapy Plan

It is easy to get hyper focused on the deficit aspect of therapy.

Your literacy connections could be highlighting a particular letter or sound across the session and how that sound connects to words, and those words belong in sentences, and sentences tell us so much. I often say to my clients, “use your words, please.” I also need to remind myself to let those words be part of a bigger story I can share with my client.
