What the numbers don't show

Those hours pile up across caseloads, binders, and tools that don't talk.

No central hub

Materials scattered across TPT, Google, and personal drives.

IEP paperwork overload

Progress reports consume hours weekly — manual and error-prone.

Broken data collection

Tracking is inconsistent and rarely informs real-time decisions.

Voice of the SLP

I use exactly what someone else put out there — sometimes TPT, other provider-created materials, or anything I can find on Google
School-based SLP interview
My data-tracking system isn't very efficient. I try new methods I see others using, but I always go back to what I was doing before.
School-based SLP interview
We've looked time and time again for an EHR. [They are] not user friendly.

Who it's for

SLPs adopt it because it cuts paperwork in half—more time to prepare for sessions and better outcomes for students.

Directors deploy it because it standardizes compliance.

Districts scale it because it finally gives them data.

That's the motion. Bottom-up adoption. Top-down expansion.
