Whether you’re splitting time between multiple campuses or juggling every teacher at one busy school, scheduling as a school-based SLP can feel like trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube during recess duty. Here’s how Kit for Teams helps make flexible, realistic scheduling possible — even with a packed caseload.
Why SLP Scheduling Is So Complex
Your caseload isn’t the only thing driving your schedule. You’re also navigating:
-
- Varying IEP service minutes
- Rotating or A/B week calendars
- Room availability that changes every quarter
- Collaboration time with special education teachers or support staff
That’s a lot to manage — especially without a centralized place to keep track.
Kit’s Built-In Scheduler Solves for Flexibility
Kit was built with school-based scheduling chaos in mind. Here’s how it helps:
-
- Add any kind of event to your calendar — from therapy to testing to planning time
- Double-click, right-click, or use the “Create Event” button to quickly schedule sessions
- Choose how often events repeat and edit them later (single events or full series)
- Drag and drop sessions when schedules shift — no rebuilding required
- Color-code and customize as needed, even attach your school calendars to track breaks
- Create and customize rotating schedules, including weekly, monthly, or A/B cycles
- View your full calendar and student service minutes in one place
- Adjust sessions without having to recreate your schedule from scratch
- Build your own events and assign students with a few clicks
- Color-code and tag sessions for easier tracking
Everything updates live — so you can always see where you’re headed next.
“Being able to build a rotating schedule has been a game changer. I finally feel like my schedule works with me — not against me.” — Alicia, SLP
What It Looks Like In Practice
Open Kit and click on your calendar. Instantly see:
-
- Your current week’s sessions and schools
- Color-coded events for different student groups
- Any sessions that need rescheduling
With a few clicks, you can:
-
- Update the group attendance
- Add missed service time
- Plan around testing windows, holidays, or other interruptions
Flexible Scheduling Supports the Workload Model
ASHA emphasizes that SLPs should be scheduled based on total workload — not just number of students. Flexible scheduling models (like the 3:1 or cyclical model) allow for indirect services, IEP meetings, collaboration, and progress monitoring.
