Data Data Data 🙈

Taking data has been the toughest part of my job for me. Especially during group therapies in schools.

I am a school/private practice SLP (also a wanna be Type A professional) and I’m struggling to stay organized. I have never ever felt like this before, I’m so overwhelmed with the paperwork.

I’m gonna be super transparent here - i did not take any quantitive data this past nine weeks period. All my data has been qualitative and I’ve guesstimated the %s.

I also am struggling with keeping logs of my sessions. I have papers everywhere! How do SLPs stay organized? Who are these SLPs that are working in schools, seeing private patients on the side, and also creating content either on social media or materials on Boomcards or TPT?????

I want to be that. I am willing to do what it takes. I just want to understand how. My ADD brain is ALL OVER THE PLACE

I feel so scared sometimes that if I’m Audited, i wont be able to justify anything because i have no concrete notes or data. I just keep notes for myself and honestly, lately i have not even been doing that. So progress notes are my go to because that is when I actually document. What’s wrong with me??? Can you tell I’m spiraling? 🌀

PLEASE HELP! 😢
