This week, Kelly shares a powerful, research-driven strategy that she developed—almost by accident—that has become a game-changer in her therapy room and for countless SIS members.

🔍 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why traditional “plus one” language modeling often isn’t enough—and how to break free from the chisel-and-hammer approach.
• The story behind how a speech sound disorder bootcamp accidentally became the birthplace of an effective language intervention for children with autism.
• How using a repetitive, multisensory paragraph-based strategy can lead to spontaneous, complex language—even in non-speaking children.
• The dangers of over-praising or applying pressure—and how loss aversion can backfire in autism intervention.
• Why comments matter more than requests—and how shifting from "I want" to "Look at" can be transformative.
• How to embrace gestalt language processing with intention, evidence, and child-led wisdom.
• The cascading impact: how one paragraph can ignite spontaneous language, natural intonation, and even why questions you've never explicitly taught.

🧠 Evidence + Experience = Results

You’ll hear how Kelly used both data and lived clinical experience to build this method, drawing from motor planning research, storytelling science, and decades of observing how autistic children truly learn.

The result? Gains in speech clarity, sentence complexity, and utterance length—even after just five sessions. And for many children, spontaneous language emerges naturally, without the artificial scaffolding of sentence strips and forced modeling.
