Speaker: Blair Hoffman, Speech Language Pathologist, Mount Pleasant Central School District
Blair Hoffman: Hi there, I'm Blair Hoffman. I work in a kindergarten to second grade public school program. I've been working for 40 years and I have to say that SLP Toolkit is a total game changer. It really has gotten rid of all the papers with the million different sheets of data. I have all of my information in one place. I use the schedule religiously. I open up SLP Toolkit every morning. I can see which kids I have. What their goals are. I have a place to take data, to write anecdotes, and also to add in personalized progress monitoring that I've developed over time. It's really amazing. I sometimes will have an impromptu parent meeting, or I'll be preparing for progress notes, or an IEP, and I just run the report with all the data by goal and I can do a quick read through. I can look at how they're progressing in graph form and I feel so much more prepared and better able to access the information I have about my students. I also love in the scheduling that once I've seen a student, I can just click on their name in the schedule and put some notes of what I'm going to plan for in the upcoming dates. And that even includes like specific cues that have worked, things that I might have forgotten. by the end of the day. I can just add in really easily. I do love their assessments that I use for the PLEPs for my IEPs. It's a way to really look at kids every year using similar set of language tasks and there's just lots of progress monitoring tools on top of it. So SLP Toolkit, I really couldn't live without it.
