The Invisible Workload: Why Your Caseload Number Doesn't Tell the Whole Story
About this episode
The episode discusses the disparity between caseload numbers and actual workload for school-based SLPs, highlighting the findings of the 2024 ASHA survey and offering strategies for advocacy.
Show Notes: slpnow.com/259 A caseload number can look tidy on paper, but it never tells the whole story. In this episode, I break down why caseload does not equal workload, what the 2024 ASHA survey tells us, and why so many school based SLPs feel stretched thin even when the numbers look manageable. I also walk through a simple way to make invisible work visible, so you can use data and clear language to advocate for support without making it personal. If you are feeling behind, this is your reminder that the system may be the problem, not you. Resources: - 2024 ASHA schools survey - SLP Now Academy - slpnow.com/pod
