Child-led, naturalistic therapy offers rich opportunities for connection and growth, but capturing that progress in a meaningful and defensible way can be challenging. In this course, Janine Benner, MA, CCC-SLP, BCS-CL, ASDCS, shares practical, flexible strategies for collecting data and writing goals that truly reflect how children communicate and learn within responsive, play-based sessions.
You’ll learn how to move beyond traditional accuracy-based measurement and discover data-collection approaches that align with the spontaneous, relational nature of child-led work. Janine introduces quantitative, qualitative, and hybrid tools and shows how to choose methods that fit a variety of support needs, service delivery models, and therapy environments. Through case studies and clinician-ready resources, you’ll see how to create efficient systems that capture authentic communication growth without disrupting the flow of therapy.
If you’ve ever struggled to document progress in a way that reflects what you actually observe during child-led sessions, this course will offer a clear, functional path forward. You'll walk away with practical tools that make your data more meaningful, your goals more accurate, and your progress monitoring more aligned with the developmental and relational heart of child-led intervention.
