Speech therapy

Speech therapy clinic software

Speech therapy is long, regular and usually paid for by someone other than the patient. The work is in keeping a block of sessions running, recording progress against goals and keeping a parent informed.

Goals, not just sessions

Progress is measured against stated goals rather than by attendance alone. The notes have to support a review conversation months later.

  • Blocks of sessions booked as a pattern, often for a child
  • The same slot each week, because families plan around it
  • Session length set per therapy type rather than one default
  • Parents and guardians on the record with their own consent
  • School and referrer correspondence generated from the file

Regular sessions at the same time each week

The slot matters as much as the session. Booking a recurring pattern and protecting it is most of the scheduling work.

  • Standardised assessments repeated and scored the same way
  • Goals set at assessment and reviewed at defined points
  • Home practice issued and its completion recorded
  • Audio or video held against the session it came from
  • Progress a parent can be shown rather than told

The parent is the one being communicated with

Reminders, progress summaries and home exercises go to a parent or guardian, which is a different contact from the patient.

  • Attendance against plan, which predicts outcome here more than most
  • A missed session chased the same day
  • Funding and insurance approvals tracked against the block
  • Discharge and review scheduled rather than left open
  • Reports a school or a paediatrician can act on

Appointments versus a course with goals

Speech therapy is measured against goals set months earlier, and the record either supports that comparison or it does not.

The way it is done now

  • A note per session
  • Goals in the first note
  • Home practice suggested
  • Parents told about progress
  • Attendance unmeasured

With Medicolize

  • Scored assessments, repeated
  • Reviewed at defined points
  • Issued, and completion recorded
  • Shown it
  • Against plan, per block

Questions

Speech therapy — frequently asked

Can the contact for reminders be a parent rather than the patient?

Yes. The record holds a guardian contact, and messaging uses it.

Can we record progress against goals?

Yes, as structured fields against the course, so a review months later is based on recorded measures rather than recollection.
