Role-Playing: A Dynamic Approach to Vocational Training

SLP Coffee Talk

Hi, fellow SLPs! In today’s episode, Hallie explores the benefits of role-playing in speech therapy to enhance vocational communication skills. Discover the practical strategies for SLPs to create realistic role-playing scenarios that prepare students for the workforce by developing language skills essential for professional success. Tailored for speech-language pathologists working with older students, Hallie offers insights into making therapy sessions relevant and engaging focusing on job interviews, client interactions, and team collaborations.

Here’s what we learned:

• By focusing on real world scenarios, students can apply their speech and language skills directly to their career aspirations and goals.

• It is important to design role playing activities that are tailored to the students’ individual speech goals and vocational interests.

• How feedback helps students reflect on their performance, recognize areas for improvement and make adjustments to their communication strategies.

• A resource called Secondary Secrets for SLPs, a private podcast series designed to inspire and provide strategies for working with secondary speech students.
