looking for more guidance in working with older students who are showing more signs of being very strong willed to the point of looking like they are being deviant when it comes to communicating with certain teachers. The biggest take away is that the older students feel more comfortable and not threatened to speak in some classes. build relationships and make sure she is getting therapy for anxiety.

Great understanding of SM and the SLP's role. I wish there was more focus on how to help older high school students in school setting without parents and not clinic setting since I do not have access to some sensory tools in my school or access to parents during treatment time.

I feel more confident in where to refer parents (which professions support SM) for additional help when dealing with SM, as Speech Therapy is not the only therapy needed.
