According to the 2022 and 2020 School Survey results high workload/caseload size is one of the greatest challenges for school-based professionals. Anecdotal data from member contact via technical assistance and internal and external committees and groups also indicate that workload/caseload continues to rank as one of the most pressing professional issues for school-based SLPs. In this presentation participants will learn about and use the ASHA Workload Calculator (AWC) to analyze workload/caseload and service delivery factors. Participants will discuss and use ASHA resources to address a variety of caseload/workload issues as well as support evidence-based practice and identify solutions for issues affecting practice.

By participating in this professional development opportunity, the learner will be able to:

  1. Use the ASHA Workload Calculator to analyze SLP data and service delivery.
  2. Implement solutions for longstanding issues affecting their practice.
  3. Identify and use ASHA resources to address a variety of caseload/workload issues as well as support evidence-based practice.
