Speech Pathologize the Bleep Out of Your IEP Meetings

Have you ever sat in an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) meeting and thought, "Please don't ask to see my data?" Even when speech language pathologists (SLPs) have available data, it is usually housed on paper or in binders, making it hard to decipher, hard to access and hard to convey at meetings. School SLPs across the nation often face caseloads of 65+ students and may work with preschool through 12th grade with a wide range of communication needs, which compounds the issue of how to best collect data for a variety of needs throughout the school year. This course will focus on how to streamline the collection and analysis of data for a variety of purposes, including treatment efficacy, progress monitoring, and writing treatment plans using cutting edge technology.
