If you're a Lead SLP, department head, or supervising SLP, you already know:

Your caseload isn’t the only thing that needs managing.

Your *staffing* model probably does, too.

We’re kicking off our newly reinvigorated Off Mute roundtable series with a session on layered staffing models – how districts are blending SLPs, SLPAs, CFYs, contracted support, and creative scheduling to meet growing needs with finite resources.
