Leave work with your notes already done.

Join Goals Week, a live four-night bootcamp for neuroaffirming speech therapists. You’ll walk away with one system for goals, data and progress reports, so meaningful documentation takes minutes instead of hours and your paperwork stays at work.

Hours, not just a week of training

You’ll leave with four hours of professional development.

Everyone who attends Goals Week earns 4 professional development hours, and your certificate is issued at the end of the week. VIP seats earn 8, because the four group calls count too.

These hours can be applied toward your ASHA certification maintenance requirements. ASHA asks you to hold your own documentation, so keep the certificate for your records once we send it.

There’s a reason collecting data in child-led therapy feels hard.

Nothing kills the vibe of a child-led speech therapy session quite like a clipboard and pen. When you’re fully ‘in-it’ with a child, data becomes a ‘later’ problem.

  • You’re supporting real communication, not testing the child, so + and − data isn’t helpful.
  • You’re being directed to build a block tower EXACTLY like the one from Cocomelon ... in perfect rainbow order ... so needless to say, your hands are a bit busy.
  • You’re literally sweating and crawling around on the floor with the child (so joyful...and so much back pain).

So, you throw caution to the wind and tell yourself you’ll write it all down later.. a lie every SLP has told themselves at least once. Does this sound familiar?

Ugh, yes! Show me a better way →

If this looks familiar...go right on ahead and sign up for the bootcamp. 😅

Here’s what “later” looks like

By the time you get back to your desk, you can’t remember what happened in the session.

  • After a few back-to-back sessions, it all starts to blur together.
  • That moment you swore you’d remember? Gone with the wind by lunch.
  • You know your child-led approach is working, but you haven’t found a data collection system that can keep up.

You know that 80% accuracy goals don’t make sense for your autistic students, but you aren’t sure how to prove it. After our live bootcamp, you’ll feel confident in the goals you write and the progress you describe to the team.

The four nights

Here’s what we’re doing each night.

By Thursday you’ll have picked the skill, written the goal, taken data on it in a real session, and worked out how to keep it going with the rest of your caseload.

Mon Oct 19

Where Do We Start?

How to decide what to target for an autistic child, so you have a repeatable way to choose with any kid on your caseload.

01
Tue Oct 20

Write One Rubric. Use It With Every Student.

Build your first rubric template on a student you are thinking about right now, and reuse it for years.

02
Wed Oct 21

Take the Data Without Leaving the Moment

Capture what actually happened without stopping the session to write it down, and without missing the thing you were there for.

03
Thu Oct 22

Make This How You Work

Turn four nights of teaching into the way you run your caseload, instead of another binder you never open again.

04

All four nights at 7pm ET on Zoom.

By Thursday night

What you walk out with

A way to decideA repeatable process for choosing what to target, that works on the child who lands on your caseload in October and the one whose IEP is not open until spring.
Your own rubricOne rubric template you built yourself, on a real student, that you can reuse with every student after this one.
Data you trustA way to capture what really happened in session, including every no, without leaving the moment to write it down.
A routine that fitsA documentation loop sized for the time you actually have between sessions, not the time you wish you had.
STOP

Read this first

There are no replays on the regular ticket.

I know that is unexpected, and at first glance it might even be a little frustrating. So let me tell you why I made that call.

I have been running workshops like this for years, and the same thing happens every single time. People sign up with all the best intentions in the world, and then instead of putting it on the calendar and blocking off the time to be there, they think, well, I will just catch the replay.

Having seen the back end of these things, I can tell you with confidence that the number of people who actually watch the replay is so, so small.

I built Goals Week to save you hours and hours and hours of your own time, and that only works if you are in the room. Showing up live is you committing to yourself that this part of your work is going to get better.

And when this part gets better, other parts follow. Your confidence. Your free time. Your ability to mentally shut this off when you leave work.

So please go in knowing there are no replays with the regular ticket.

As a mom of two and a business owner

I also know the best laid plans fall apart. You fully plan to be there live, and then at 6pm your kid spikes a fever.

And if you’re joining from outside North America, 7pm ET might land in the middle of your night. Nothing you can plan around there.

Every night after our live call, we write up a summary with a play by play of everything we went over, along with any visuals or tools you need access to. You will be able to read exactly what we did.

The replay videos are only available if you upgrade to the VIP ticket. If you’re in a time zone that makes live impossible, that’s the one I’d point you to.

Your host

I spent years writing goals I did not believe in.

I would write something down, close the laptop, and go do the real work with the kid. I told myself the goal was paperwork and the therapy was the point.

I called that a philosophy for a long time. It was avoidance. Writing goals inside the system I had been handed felt bad, so I decided the goals did not matter, because that was easier than admitting I did not know how to do them well.

Goals Week is the thing I needed back then. Four nights, one system, and not one part of it asks you to care less about the child in front of you.

Before you decide

Questions people ask

What if I cannot make them live?
The regular ticket does not come with replays. You’ll get a written summary of each night in the community instead, along with the workbook, so you can still do the work on your own time. If you already know a night or two will not work for you, VIP includes lifetime replays of all four.
Do I get professional development hours?
Yes. Goals Week is worth 4 professional development hours, and the VIP ticket is worth 8. We issue your certificate at the end of the week. These are professional development hours rather than ASHA CEUs, which means you report them yourself and hold your own documentation, so save the certificate somewhere you can find it again. If your state licensure board has its own rules about what it accepts, check those too, because they vary.
My next IEP is not until spring. Is this still worth it?
Yes. This applies to the goal that already exists. You are not tracking something separate alongside the IEP goal, you are changing how you run and measure the one that is already on the page. Most people leave with a plan for a student whose goal is locked until next year.
I am not school-based. Does this assume a school calendar?
No. Goal dates are scattered across the year in outpatient and private practice, which is exactly why this is built around the weekly documentation loop rather than around one writing season.
Do I have to buy the app?
No. Every part of this runs on paper and the workbook has all of it. I will show you Aligned Practice during the week because I built it and I use it, and you can take it or leave it.
What happens right after I pay?
You get your community access and the workbook straight away, plus the Zoom links for all four nights. Kristi and Abby are in the community all week if you get stuck.

Come build the system once and use it for years.

Four nights, one hour each. You leave with 4 professional development hours and a way of documenting that you keep long after the week is over.
