A Conversation You Don't Want to Miss: Office Hours with Sarah Bevier & Lisa Kathman
It's not every day you get to ask your questions directly to the co-founders of SLP Toolkit and the creators of SLP Summit. During this month's Office Hours, Sarah Bevier and Lisa Kathman shared practical advice, answered live questions, and offered the kind of insights that only come from years of working alongside school-based SLPs.
They dove into one of the biggest topics on every school-based SLP's mind this time of year: collecting meaningful data without letting it take over your day.
Instead of focusing on paperwork, Sarah and Lisa shared strategies that help data become a tool for making better clinical decisions and showing meaningful student progress.
Some of the highlights included:
- Simple ways to collect data that actually informs therapy.
- How to build systems that save time and reduce stress throughout the school year.
- Looking beyond pluses and minuses to tell the full story of student growth.
- Tips for making documentation easier while keeping it meaningful.
- Live Q&A where attendees brought real challenges from their own caseloads and received practical advice from Sarah and Lisa.
One of the best parts of Office Hours is that every session is shaped by the questions our community brings. It feels less like a webinar and more like sitting down with colleagues who have spent years solving the same problems you're facing today.
Here's to making this upcoming school year's data collection smooth sailing!
