4: You Can Motivate Them!
Even the toughest, most challenging students you have can be reached. They can be motivated and be willing to learn in your speech therapy room. You might think I am C.R.A.Z.Y. because you have students that just refuse to do the work.
In this week’s episode, I want to challenge you to think outside the box and think about ways you can work with those students with a different mindset and actually see results. I want you to approach the session so that you will see motivation and progress from them. I don’t want you losing the battle all year and walking away defeated.
How can you make a change in yourself? What can you do differently to get better results with the toughest of students?
In this episode you’ll discover:
- How to change your mindset when you have a particularly hard student
- Ways to figure out what might be making your student struggle
- Different ways you can work with children to figure out their strengths and weaknesses
- How to find out different things that might motivate
