This is low. <br />The average, however, does not tell the full story. A number of therapists have much higher caseloads <br />and an even larger number have much smaller caseloads. All figures are adjusted if less than a 1.0 FTE <br />position. <br />ASHA, the speech and language professional organization reports that the median caseload of a <br />school-based full-time speech and language therapist is 50 students nationwide (Based on a 2008 <br />ASHA schools survey). <br />ASHA, which is an advocate for speech and language therapists, recommends caseloads of 40 <br />typical students or 25 severe needs students (Based on a 2002 ASHA Workload Analysis <br />Technical Report). Few districts have adopted these guidelines. <br />Occupational therapists in the district see 13% more students on average than speech therapists. <br />The District Management Council <br />7 Harcourt Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02116 <br />- <br />Tel:1877-DMC-3500 | Fax:617-491-5266 |www.dmcouncil.org <br /> <br />
