Caseload Handoff Kit.
An app idea for speech therapy practices.
When an SLP leaves a practice or goes on leave, this packages each client's goals, notes, materials and parent contacts into a clean handover file for whoever takes over.
What the search found
- Who pays
- Practice owners and SLPs covering a leave or replacing a clinician
- The problem
- When a clinician leaves or goes on maternity leave, the practice owner has to reconstruct each client's goals, notes and parent contacts from scattered files and personal email. Covering SLPs walk in with almost nothing.
- The gap
- Practice management tools like ReadySetConnect store notes and goals for the current clinician but do not produce a portable, per-client handover package for a replacement. School-focused tools like SchoolTherapyDocs are built for school caseloads, not private-practice ownership transfers.

- The big assumption
- Practice owners feel this pain strongly enough to pay, rather than handling handovers with a shared drive and a checklist.
- Test it this week
- Interview five private-practice owners who have had a clinician leave in the last year. Ask them to walk you through exactly how they handed over the caseload and how many hours it took.
