ABCs 4 SLPs: D is for Data Collection

Now that we're heading back into school, there is one "d" word that we all don't want to hear. "Data". It is time to start taking data again and if you are not organized at the beginning of the year, you may find yourself lost. In this post you will find links to different speech-language pathology bloggers who have created various data collection forms as well as applications that help with data tracking!

Two different speech-language pathologist bloggers that have taken data collection buzz to a whole different level (whether that's good or bad) are Simply Speech and Speech Adventures.

Simply Speech created many, many, many data collection forms/binders and shared them with her followers. They have been pinned all over Pinterest and are aesthetically pleasing.

Speech Adventures is more known for the "hot topics" and conversational end of speech-language pathology. In her post "Adventures in Accounting", you will laugh and cry thinking about data collection in the schools.

Carrie's Speech Corner, My Easy Bee, Playing With Words 365, and Speaking of Speech are two other websites that discuss organization/have forms for the speech room and lesson plans/data collection.

Finally, as usual, I want to leave you with some applications that are great for data collection:
