From Struggle to Strength: Empowering Students With Language and Behavioral Needs

Guest: Erin Wallace, PhD, CCC-SLP - Join Carolyn and Dr. Erin Wallace for this episode, where we explore low-effort, evidence-supported strategies to minimize challenging behaviors and maximize language potential when providing services to students with developmental language disorder (DLD) in individual and group settings. We’ll learn the definitions, explanation, and implementation of key strategies like behavior-specific praise, error correction and performance feedback, group contingencies, modeling, wh-questions, scaffolding, and expansion to promote language development and positive behaviors. Discover how these simple yet powerful methods can transform your approach and support student success.
