IEP timelines are unforgiving
IEP evaluations have 60-day federal deadlines (state-specific variations). Missing the deadline triggers compliance issues and parent complaints.
Compliance risk, lost district contracts, lower parent trust

The Problem
Multi-district contract SLPs juggle calendars
Contract SLPs covering 3-10 districts manage different calendars, district policies, and IEP timelines simultaneously. Manual coordination drops the ball.
Missed sessions, lost contract revenue, burnout
Parent communication across language barriers
School-based SLP serves diverse families — Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Korean-speaking parents need bilingual IEP coordination.
Lost parent engagement, IEP non-compliance risk, equity gap
Medicaid school-based billing is complex
When applicable, Medicaid school-based billing requires careful parent consent capture, eligibility verification, and documentation.
Lost Medicaid reimbursement, compliance risk
