The whole point of taking data in speech therapy is to make ongoing treatment decisions (e.g. The problem is the the fact that the data we collect doesn’t necessarily align to how a goal is written. We are speech-language pathologists! We not only are trained to take data and are good at it, but it is in our nature to love data. The issue is not whether we collect data. So progress reports involve you pulling out your speech files, pouring through the session notes, doing some math, and hoping you have what you need to fill in the progress section on your report…because if not, you will be doing some last minute scrambling to collect data points or even worse, making “smart guesses” on progress. If you look at your current caseload, chances are that most of your goals are written in a format that uses SLP data as the criteria for measurement. Why does every school-based SLP dread the end of the grading period? It may have something to do with the 60 or so progress reports that go along with it (and the fact that you usually have to complete them over your vacation). It might just make your life significantly easier.

I want every school based SLP to know about SLP Toolkit. I’ve seen many a program over the years that is suppose to help with one thing or another but none with the universal potential of SLP Toolkit. They’ve set up ways to keep/measure data and have it organized for progress report writing. SLP Tool Kit has programs set up to take care of everything from goal writing to progress reports. For school SLPs the biggest drag is the copious amount of paperwork and vast amount of data we are suppose to collect. The following day I attended their formal presentation and continued to be impressed. My initial impression was that it really could help school based SLPs. Sarah gave me a quick demonstration of their product, SLP Toolkit and every aspect of it made sense. I met Lisa and Sarah at the 2016 ASHA convention. The School Speech Therapist would like to welcome guest bloggers Lisa Kathman, M.S.
