How Probe Data at the Start of a Session Changes Everything

Show Notes: slpnow.com/267

In this episode, I break down why I collect probe data at the start of the session, not the end. A quick, clean baseline helps me see exactly where each student is, how much support they need, and how to use our time wisely.

I also share how I use goal cards to keep students engaged while I gather probes, plus how this routine makes planning, data collection, billing, progress notes, and IEPs so much easier. Working smarter, not harder.
