I still use paper and pencil for tracking speech/language therapy data. I guess you could say I'm old-fashioned. I've tried some of the new tracking apps on the iPad, but I just can't get into them. I use a comprehensive data collection sheet that is kept in a separate file folder for each student. The speech and/or language goals are listed at the top of the sheet. I track accurate (+) and inaccurate (-) responses and then calculate the percent correct on this sheet. Next, I move the articulation percentages to an easy-to-read data collection sheet. This sheet is arranged according to the hierarchy of traditional articulation therapy. Once the student attains percentages above the criterion level for 3 sessions, he moves to the next level. This system makes quarterly data collection a breeze!

When there are 3+ students in a group, and multiple tracking sheets for each student, it can easily get cluttered. I keep my clipboard glued to my hand to help keep things orderly. I jazzed up my old clipboard with some scrap book paper and mod podge. Very easy, very cheap, and very cute.
Talk it up!

I keep track on pencil and paper too, so much easier! Love your clip board :)
