Simple Tools ❖ Optimal Outcomes
You’ve successfully helped everyone from small children up to adults. You see every difficulty as a challenge and a chance to improve your skills.
But we all have that client who’s worked with multiple SLPs before finding us, and despite our best efforts, isn’t making progress.
That’s why you’re here, because when the going gets tough the smart get help!
You don’t need another expensive tool or complex method. Something’s gotta be missing. If you just had a deeper understanding, then the missing pieces would come together and those tricky clients would start to progress.
I can help YOU!
Walk confidently into your next therapy session with your toughest client knowing you have the tools you need for success. No not a new machine or fancy piece of equipment, not even a complicated method that will take months to implement.
This time you will be prepared with an understanding of the process, client skills, and therapist skills needed for success. When you understand the process, you know where to start with each client.
Many times when clients struggle, it’s because they haven’t started at the right place. They are missing a strong foundation.
It’s time to go back to basics and actually start at the root of the problem.
At The Speech Umbrella we have simple strategies that are easy to execute so you can help the toughest clients and make a positive difference in somebody’s life.
The Speech Umbrella Path to Success
Simplicity
Therapy doesn’t have to be complex or elaborate, in fact it shouldn’t be. When you understand the sequence of learning, then the execution can be simple and fun.
“I would give my life for
simplicity on the other side of complexity.”
– Oliver Wendell Holmes
Mindfulness
Believe it or not, your client can tell you everything you need to know. Each client comes as a package deal, with their own unique developmental patterns in motor, sensory, cognitive and emotional skills. When you make observing a habit, you will realize what pieces are missing, and know where to begin.
With a firm grasp on the fundamentals and some fun, practical tools you will find the root of the problem and together experience that moment of success.
“Don’t be pushed by your problems.
Be led by your observations.”
– Denise Stratton
Depth of Knowledge
Even the best college can’t prepare you for all of the different challenges you will face as an SLP. On any given day, 50% of my business is with challenges I had no specific training for. Instead of winging it and hoping you stumble across a method that will work, come to your next session with a deep understanding of your whole client.
“One’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains it original dimensions”

What are SLPs saying about Impossible R Made Possible?
Janna Voss
MS CCC-SLP
I really LOVED the course! It was very well done — I loved the visual demonstrations, and all of the downloadable material. I have been using your program for several years. I realized in taking this course that I need to focus a lot more on the 3 pillars….on the Tic-Tac-Toe exercises. I was rushing through those because I really wanted to get moving on working on /r/. I realized that being really strong in those exercises — in the 3 pillars — IS absolutely working on /r/.
Eric Dutson
MS CCC-SLP
I LOVE the course. I love the simple breakdowns, examples, stories, and the overall ease of use of the program. Well Done! You have made the impossible /r/ possible!
Jessica Johstoneaux
MS CCC-SLP
Your course is WONDERFUL!! I loved how clear your description and instructions are. I loved the video of the techniques in action with your clients. I loved your delivery with the scenes with you in the chair and then varying it with slides and videos. I loved your anecdotes and analogies!
I have read your book and talked with you about R therapy and the course made things even more clear to me. It made me feel like I really can conquer R therapy!!
I have appreciated the digital copies of your materials. So many sessions are online and I like to email homework.

My latest content
From my very first course I knew becoming a speech therapist was what I wanted to do. After serving clients for 25 years, it’s still just as exciting when I help change the future of the child in front of me.
As all SLPs do, I had my share of challenging clients – the ones that make you question your abilities as a speech therapist.
Hit and miss results is not why I started my practice so I dug deeper and discovered the power of a step-by-step plan that works with the client at their skill level.
Hi, I’m Denise Stratton, Owner/Founder of The Speech Umbrella, where we help you solve your most challenging cases with practical, evidence-based therapies.
The resources I share with you here are a culmination of 25 years of working as an SLP, hours of research and observation, and the training I received while earning my MS at Idaho State University.
I still work 1:1 with clients (and love it) but my passion is helping you become a skilled therapist who can walk into any session with confidence knowing that you have the tools and strategies to help your client and open the doors to their future.
