In this episode, we explore why storytelling matters and how school-based SLPs can help students shape personal narratives that build connection, confidence, and clarity. You’ll learn how storytelling supports executive functioning, mental health, and academic success, and walk away with practical strategies for helping students craft coherent, meaningful stories that make sense to them and the world around them.
