SLP Data Binder

ShareTweetGooglePinterestMail

How you organize your data and attendance as a school SLP really depends on your personal preferences, but I always seem to go back to using a data binder!

This has looked different for my different positions – when I traveled between ten schools in a week, I had 2 or 3 binders, sorted by day of the week (ex: M/W/F and T/R).

When I had students in both the grade school and junior high buildings, I kept separate binders for the different buildings.  Now that I’m in one building, I have one large 3″ binder each year that I keep on my desk.

 

I use binder dividers to sort by grade level, and then I put each student in alphabetically by grade.  I use small post-it flags to separate each student’s section, and write their initials on it with permanent marker.

For each student, I keep:

  •  A yearly attendance page.  {This is a free download that I update yearly.} 
  • Any progress monitoring record forms.
  • Any self-rating scales we might complete.
  • Any individual data sheets that I might use.
  • Any relevant independent work samples (typically for older students with language goals).

I’ve tried several different systems (including digital ones), but this is what I keep coming back to – I find it very helpful to have everything available at a glance, particularly when I’m writing an IEP or progress report, or if the internet goes down at school.

Let me know if you use a similar system, and what works for you!
