I first started using planbookedu.com in 2010. This is my 13th year using the site to organize my schedule, therapy plans, goals, DATA, and even my IEP dates in one convenient space. My usage of the program has evolved over the years because I did not always use it for data notes for example. At first, I just used it for my schedule and therapy plans and over time it evolved into what I use it for today.
Keeping track of my data has been a constant struggle in my career. Balancing a usually a 100 to sometimes over 100 caseload and keeping enough data to drive my therapy and having the data easily accessible has been tricky. At first, I had binders with hard copies of all my goals and I hand-wrote data on the bottom of each goal sheet. I organized them in multiple ways, alphabetically, by grade level, and by groups. While I was data tracking, organization by groups was easiest, but then using it to make therapy plans and to write upcoming goals was easier alphabetically. Nothing ever seemed like the perfect organization system for actual hands-on quick use for a super busy SLP so then I was not utilizing data to drive therapy as much and as often as I wanted.
I currently have a caseload of 140 that I split with an SLPA and I keep both mine and my SLPA's schedule, plans, goals, and data in planbooks using https://www.planbookedu.com/. This is my 23rd year as an SLP and it is my 13th year using planbookedu. I love the program for many reasons. First, the price. It is $25 for an entire calendar year. A few years ago (after having used planbookedu for almost 10 years), I did a trial of SLP Toolkit. While it does have features that are above and beyond caseload management such as quick quizzes for data collection, at $18 dollars a month billed annually for $216 dollars it was not a cost-effective choice for me when compared to my $25 dollars aYEAR current system. Also, as a clinician of over 20 years, I already have tons of my own data collection materials that I have made and/or acquired over the years.
Then you put your daily schedule with times and student names into one of the first weeks of the year, skipping a box after every group for data collection. The schedule/planning boxes you are going to save WEEKLY for the first time that you set up your schedule. When you do this, you will put the schedule on every day for the entire year with one click. So when you go to the next week, your schedule is all there and ready for you to plan. I leave these schedule boxes white. When you use these boxes throughout the year, you will save them as "This entry should appear ONCE" so that it is only the therapy plan you used on that one day and it does not go forward to your whole year.
The FIRST time you save your schedule boxes will look like this:
Then the next box is going to be your IEP date, Goals, and DATA box. I color code my boxes and make my data boxes blue. You will ALWAYS save these boxes as weekly so that from week to week your data compiles and builds and is all in one easy place right next to your therapy plan boxes, sitting there ready to be used to drive your therapy plans. Below is what it looks like the first time you save your Goal/ Data box. The dates after the student names are when their annual IEP plans are due. This is all sample, hypothetical students, and hypothetical goals that I wrote quickly as an example to make this blog post. All student confidentiality of my actual caseload is strictly kept according to FERPA and ASHA ethical standards.
When you finish your therapy group on November 12th, saving this goal/data box looks like this, Pull down WEEKLY in the top and click SAVE on the bottom left. Then this data just went onto every week in your planbook. I personally highlight my data so that it is easily visibly distinguishable from my goals.
Happy Therapy Planning and Data Collection!

It has been way too long since I published a new Boom deck, but I released a new one this weekend. This one is almost 70 slides of phonological processes most commonly seen with the /sh/ sound target. You get 21 minimal pair contrasts in this deck!
For the phonological process of stopping /sh/ is contrasted with /t/ and /d/, and for fronting /sh/ is contrasted with /s/. There are seven minimal-pair picture sets for each of the three contrasts and four different activities with each set also.
First, bombard your client with /sh/ words with two auditory bombardment lists. Then, go over the seven minimal pairs in a card set that is fully audio-supported. Click the pictures to hear them talk. Then go play with the minimal pairs by putting them on a shelf. This is intended for open-ended play so that you can use it for receptive practice to see if the child can process the difference OR you can have the child say the pair of words as they put the pictures on the shelf to differentiate from the way they say the /sh/ and the target sound.
Level up the comprehension of the minimal pairs by moving the talking pictures into fill-in-the-blank sentences to really show that you understand the difference between the words. Finally, play a fun memory match game to practice the seven /sh/ target words in your chosen minimal pair set. The game pictures will change positions every time you load the boom deck which makes it playable over and over and each time it's a brand new game.
If your client misarticulates /sh/ due to a phonological processing disorder, this deck has you covered with tons of activities to meet all your needs!

Hello Everyone!
I made a FREE boom deck just in time for St. Patrick's Day. This goes along with one of my favorite books for this holiday, "How to Catch a Leprechaun" by Adam Wallace.
I included story sequencing, temporal questions with first, last, before and after, story retell with picture support, and two levels of comprehension questions! This is jam-packed with goodies for your language therapy and can be used with a wide age range (K-5th).
Add it to your BOOM library for FREE! https://wow.boomlearning.com/author/coylescommunication
I have only ONE WEEK until Spring Break 2022 and I am Ready!
