Feeling like data collection is eating up all your therapy time? In this episode, Hallie sits down with Michele Rothstein of SLP Madness, a 26-year elementary school-based SLP, to talk all about how to make data collection clean, efficient, and legally defensible. Michele shares her 3:1 treatment-to-probe ratio, how she handles Medicaid billing without sacrificing real therapy time, and why she believes data is her favorite four-letter word.
Bullet Points to Discuss:
The difference between therapy charting and true data collection
Why testing your students every session isn't the same as teaching them
Using a 3:1 ratio: three weeks of treatment, one week of progress monitoring
How to report Medicaid billing data on non-probe weeks
Building and organizing probes so they're ready for IEP season
Handling inherited IEP goals you don't agree with or understand
Here’s what we learned:
Data collection and therapy charting are not the same thing
Consistent stimuli each time you probe is what makes data legally defensible
An IEP is a blueprint, not a complete list of everything you're targeting
Honesty about inherited goals builds trust with families and teams
Starting small with one student or goal is the key to sticking with a new system
