Teaching · Speech & Language

Count the minutes that were therapy, not the ones that were buffering.

Record the minutes actually delivered, the connection and privacy checks, and trials for each goal. The summary shows minutes to make up, how each goal went, and the setup fixes for next time.

see the mouth, hear the sound
Drawn for this page. Remote speech therapy depends on seeing the mouth clearly and hearing sounds without distortion, so the camera and audio are part of the notes.

How to use it

  1. Start a record with the student’s initials or a code and the session date.
  2. Enter minutes scheduled and minutes of therapy actually delivered.
  3. Mark the connection, any problems and the privacy checks.
  4. Add each goal with trials, correct and the support needed.
  5. Write home practice and the plan for next session.

What the notes are for

Minutes that count

A thirty-minute session that loses eight minutes to a dropped call delivers twenty-two minutes of service. Recording delivered minutes honestly shows when make-up sessions are needed under the student’s IEP and your district’s policy.

Setup is part of therapy

Judging speech sounds by video needs a clear view of the mouth and clean audio. A helper on the student’s side who can adjust the camera, reconnect and support activities makes a large difference, especially for younger students.

What these notes are not

They are not a progress report or a licensure record. Telepractice across state lines can require licensure in the student’s state; check with your licensing board and district.
