Data Collection for Communication and Language Goals
SLPs often need to document not only whether a student performed a skill, but how much support was needed, how consistently the skill occurred, and whether the skill generalized across people, materials, or settings.
Documentation Examples for SLPs
Accurate documentation helps SLPs summarize what was targeted, how the student performed, what supports were needed, and how therapy connects to functional communication.

Frequently Asked Questions
SLPs may support speech sound production, receptive language, expressive language, pragmatic language, fluency, voice, AAC, feeding and swallowing, and language-based literacy skills.
Speech therapy goals may target articulation, vocabulary, sentence formulation, following directions, answering questions, conversation skills, AAC use, fluency strategies, or functional communication.
SLPs may track accuracy, number of trials, prompt level, cueing type, frequency, independence, duration, rubric scores, spontaneous use, or qualitative observations depending on the goal.
Depending on the setting, SLPs may complete session notes, SOAP notes, IEP present levels, progress reports, treatment plans, evaluation summaries, caregiver updates, and plan-of-care documentation.
iSpeax helps SLPs write goals, track session data, document therapy sessions, and generate reports from structured clinical information.
