56. Executive Function in Speech Therapy: 4 Proven Strategies for Success

As SLPs, we know communication impairments often go hand-in-hand with executive function difficulties — impacting social, academic, and even vocational outcomes. In this episode, I’ll share four key components of executive function that belong in every therapy session. These are the strategies that transform therapy from changing sounds and morphemes to changing lives.

Inside, you’ll hear how to shift from narrow, closed-ended activities to educationally rich, whole-child interventions that build self-efficacy, interpersonal skills, environmental mastery, and symbolic understanding.
