I am currently a undergraduate student majoring in Speech Pathology. I really enjoyed this article and I got a lot out of it. It is very true that the person going to therapy only gets as much out of it as they put into it. I was wondering if there is any way to try and get the person to want to come to therapy or to get them to understand the benefits they can get from going? Also as an SLP, I am sure that you have ran into children who have not wanted to be at therapy, how did you go about handling that? Did you talk to the parents at all? Would you suggest that if a parent knows the child is not wanting to come, to wait for them to be ready to go to therapy?
