40 kids? (“If I am lucky!”)

How many apps do you use for

therapy?

Let’s play along a scenario of owning

three apps, and having 30 students.

Did I create a new problem by

creating so many apps?

Problem 1:You could spend a lot of time re-entering the

same boring information

on many apps.

The solution:

Therapy Report Center

App for iPad

100% FREE

Problem 2:

Which app did I use with Paul?

oh no, wait! Let me think….

Articulate it?

hum… no, I used that one with Carrie.

Progress report from apps?

When it is time to print out our progress reports from apps

we have to open each one of the apps to print out reports and then combine those reports into one somewhat decent progress re

The solution:

The Therapy Report

Center combines all the

data in one place.

Problem 3:

Ms. Fernandes, what did you do for therapy on 2/14?

We did a craft! It was so much fun, we worked on

vocabulary, following directions, and whquestions.

Do you have that paperwork?

How do I show the paper based activities we used?

The solution:

Add notes and photos

into the report for each

student on the TRC

app.

Latest updates:

A reward center

allows

clinicians to set goals

and track progress of

those goals.

Import Goals from SLP Goal Bank

The Therapy Report Center
