We have all been there and it feels impossible. Hallie talks about how to manage a large caseload.

This week on SLP Coffee Talk, Hallie is diving into a topic that every school-based SLP with a mile-long caseload needs—how to manage it all without burning the midnight oil. ☕📚 If you’ve ever lugged a backpack full of IEPs home (only to ignore it out of pure exhaustion), this episode is your reminder that you don’t have to sacrifice your evenings—or your sanity—to be a great SLP.

From simplifying prep with flexible resources to setting boundaries that actually stick, Hallie shares her tried-and-true strategies that let you leave work at work. Whether you’re sipping reheated coffee between sessions or catching this episode on your commute, get ready to feel seen, supported, and equipped with real-life tools that work. ✨

Bullet Points to Discuss:

-Using one resource to target multiple goals across groups

-Time-saving hacks with no-prep + tech-friendly tools

-Goal banks and templates that shave hours off IEP writing

Smarter progress monitoring without the stress

-Boundary setting that helps you love your job and your life

Key Talking Points:

• Why working smarter (not harder) is the secret to thriving with 65+ students
• How one article, game, or video can hit multiple IEP goals
• The magic of no-prep, print-and-go resources (and why they’re not “lazy”)
• Leveraging goal banks + digital data tools for faster IEPs and reports
• Creating routines that honor your contract hours (and your peace of mind)
• Why protecting your time doesn’t make you a “bad SLP”—it makes you a sustainable one
