Raise your hand if you’ve ever tried to piece together student service minutes using sticky notes, scribbled logs, or a memory you hope is accurate. Whether you’re billing Medicaid or just making sure you’re on track for IEP service minutes, you need a system that works — and works fast.
What Attendance and Billing Usually Looks Like
You might be:
-
-
Manually logging attendance in a paper binder
-
Creating separate logs for each district or administrator
-
Double-entering the same info for Medicaid
-
Getting blindsided when you’re asked for service summaries or documentation of services
-
And let’s be honest — it’s not sustainable.

“Having all my data, service minutes, and attendance in one place saves me hours — and so many headaches.” — Sarah, SLP
What It Looks Like In Practice
In just a few clicks, you can:
-
- Pull up the Attendance Report
- See total minutes delivered vs. required
- Export Medicaid billing data by student or date
- Sort by student, date, or service type to find what you need
When to Make Up Missed Sessions — And How Kit Helps Track It
Not all absences are treated equally. According to ASHA’s guidance on missed sessions, whether a missed service must be made up depends on the reason for the absence — and district policy. For example:
-
-
If you are absent, services may need to be made up.
-
If the student is absent due to illness, services typically don’t require make-up — unless the district decides otherwise.
-
If school is closed or there’s a fire drill, services may or may not need to be rescheduled.
-
When you log attendance in Kit, you can note the specific reason for each absence. This makes it easy to:
-
-
Identify which sessions qualify for make-up
-
Justify service time delivered vs. missed
-
Provide documentation during audits or due process
-
