A caseload of 63 students doesn’t tell the full story of your job. School-based SLPs juggle therapy, evaluations, IEP meetings, Medicaid billing, AAC programming, travel time, and more — yet capacity is often measured by one number. In this episode, we unpack the difference between caseload and workload, why “the math isn’t mathing,” and how to shift the conversation with clarity and confidence.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  1. The difference between caseload and workload (and why it matters)
  2. Four principles to manage impossible workloads
  3. How to protect your contract hours without guilt
  4. Simple ways to document and make your workload visible
  5. How to approach administrators with clear, objective data
