From Caseload to Workload: Rethinking Service Delivery in Schools. Over the course of the conversation, they explore the difference between caseload- and workload-based service delivery and why a simple student count rarely reflects the full scope of what school SLPs actually do. From evaluations and documentation to collaboration and compliance, these responsibilities highlight the many that often go unseen in traditional caseload models.
