Paperwork doesn’t have to be the reason this job feels unsustainable. In this final episode of our paperwork series, we zoom out and look at why burnout is often a systems problem (not a passion problem), and what actually helps school-based SLPs get paperwork done more efficiently. You’ll hear practical ways to reduce cognitive load, create repeatable workflows, and make steady progress without adding more stress to your plate.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

1. Identify your biggest paperwork stressors and prioritize what matters most
2. Use a “buffet” approach to implement systems without overwhelm
3. Plan IEPs and evaluations in a way that supports working ahead
4. Create reliable workflows that make paperwork feel manageable and sustainable
