Caseload Management to Provide Effective Push-ins and Collaboration!*

Course overview

Collaboration is essential in providing therapy services in school systems. Research indicates that support must be provided to the individual student, team, and systems that are in place so that students may succeed. Although pull-out sessions can be effective, pushing into the classroom and collaboration are the new norms. Unfortunately, a huge barrier to push-in sessions is TIME! This 2-hour view-on-demand, recorded webinar reviews how to determine dosage/frequencies, strategies for using your time efficiently, research, and case studies that support increased collaboration in school systems. At the end of this course, you will be able to (1) state the differences between collaboration and direct service, (2) list one strategy used to manage caseloads, (3) list one example of a push-in strategy for the classroom, and (4) identify two approaches for minimizing barriers during push-ins.
