You want to...
start each day feeling confident & prepared
plan your lessons well in advance
organized your materials
get things done well in advance

be respected by your colleagues & admired by your students
You thought you could figure this out on your own, but now realize that being a school-based SLP involves loads of paperwork, minimal prep times, and very little outside support.
I know that right now you are...
- Confused about how to start the year effectively on the right foot.
- Juggling piles of paperwork and unsure how to prioritize these while keeping yourself sane.
- Seeking guidance and reassurance that you CAN do this but don’t know who to ask for help.
- Overwhelmed by the scope of this job and realizing that grad school only taught you about 20% of what you really need to know.
I can help you have your best year yet!

The super power speech organized SLP course was an amazing resource! Cheri created a really thought out program that can be used from primary to secondary grades and focuses on making your life more streamlined, simple, and stress free! It is definitely worth the subscription to invest in yourself and your students-- these are the lessons they didn't teach you in grad school!!

I love that Cheri covers strategies and tools that address all of the most important planning and administrative topics for school-based SLPs, and that she was very accessible and supportive. I feel much more prepared for my clinical fellowship now, and can’t wait to start implementing what I’ve learned!

Hi! I'm Cheri Dodge Chin, creator of SUPER organized slp.
Dr. Cheri Dodge has one of the longest-running speech therapy blogs in the world for people who want to be organized, feel confident, and empower themselves to work at their full potential. She has worked in public schools for over 20 years as a speech-language pathologist and assistive technology consultant. She is also an adjunct professor, researcher, presenter, hiker, avid reader, Peloton rider, and student (working on her 2nd doctorate degree). Cheri loves hanging out with her two teens, two Aussiedoodles, and husband in their home in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Thank you for joining her on this epic adventure to become more organized!
I’ve created Super Organized SLP because everywhere I look, I see smart, enthusiastic, and dedicated speech pathologists that love their students.
They are people like you with the education, passion, and drive to make a difference in the lives of others – if only they could establish organized systems, effective routines, and planning skills to minimize the time they spend on paperwork.
I came into the field of speech pathology completely by accident and was completely lost when I entered my first job. Then I moved states and was lost yet again. I was exhausted and overwhelmed.
I created Super Organized SLP in order to empower others to become organized and to help them develop efficient habits and routines for themselves. I don’t want everyone to have to go through the trial and error that I have experienced for the last 20+ years. There are no other courses for speech pathologists quite like this one. This is your chance to improve your skills and feel prepared for the upcoming year
I want you to feel that your time and energy goes into children and not paperwork. I want you to leave work at a reasonable hour and never take work home with you. I want to you to feel confident, prepared, and assured. I want you to be an organized SLP.
Here is what's included in your course:
In this module, you will work through your goals for the whole year and then narrow down your focus to the month, week, and day. This module is going to kick start you into gear to make some pretty big organizational and habitual changes to your life as an SLP.
“Module 1 is a super practical, step-by-step way to help you get organized for the start of the year. It all stems from your organizational goals and how you want to improve. Then, additional lessons provide useful ways to help you reach them. I love all of the tools and materials that were introduced throughout the module. They will make a huge difference in my organization, and ultimately help me to make the most use of my time.”
This module digs into who your students, teachers, and parents really are, and how you can best provide for them. You will be given step-by-step guides and templates to prepare others as well as yourself!
“I wish I could have taken Module 2 when I was a first year SLP. It would have saved me so much time and helped me to feel not quite so overwhelmed! Even though I’m no longer a first year SLP, I have taken away countless practical ways to improve beginning of the year tasks, such as setting up student files, preparing teachers and parents, and scheduling. These lessons are a game changer and make me so excited to start a new school year to implement all the ideas and strategies I’ve learned!”
Everyone wants to find easier methods to lesson plan. This module includes several effective methods of organizing materials and a simple way to create monthly lesson plans which will transform your organization for therapy.
“This module helped me learn to break down the lesson planning process so it does not feel so overwhelming. Often times, lesson planning gets put on the back burner for me with all of the paperwork. I am excited to use these tricks and ideas so I don’t feel so frazzled throughout the week, and I have a plan ready to go!”
“Why didn’t anyone show me how to do this before??? This is going to really help me be a better SLP.”
In this module you will learn how to rock out a data-driven informal assessment and IEP. You will be given tools to directly support your IEP writing skills.
“This module will really help ease your nerves about the IEP process. It provides so many great resources that allow you to approach IEPs in a calm and confident way!”
The Organized SLP Facebook community is one of the highlights of the course. You get to share in the joys and challenges that come with being a school SLP. Homework assignments will be posted to this group so that you can get encouragement and feedback from other students.
“The community the Facebook group creates another layer of utility to the course. Although I am generally not a big Facebook user, I loved seeing the perspectives other people brought to the group, as well as what they created for the Lessons.”
This course also comes with tons of free materials from my store. In the lesson-planning module, you get to have a “shopping spree” to create an additional wish list of products from my store. You cannot beat this incredible bonus offer!
“The materials and the Facebook group have been the most valuable to me. Getting to hear from everyone and how they’re using the materials is a great way to get motivated to re-organize your own life.”
I’ve designed Super Organized SLP so that you can get access to all of the guidance, information, and encouragement that you need to get organized without scouring through thousands of blog posts and forums.
you are ready for SUPER organized SLP if...
You are passionate about becoming your best SLP self, and you’re willing to put in the work to make it happen.
You would love guidance and help to feel organized, and you are open to adapting ideas to best fit your needs.
You are excited to spend extra time and effort at the beginning of the school year making the rest of the year run smoothly.
you are probably not ready for SUPER organized SLP if...
You want someone else to organize your work for you. No one can do it but you.
You are not willing to try out and adapt new ideas.
You don’t have the time during the summer to devote to really making your next school year fabulous.
"I didn't think I would learn too much more on how to be organized from this course. I thought how much more is there to being organized. I was terrible at being organized. I was so wrong. Everything I learned from this course was new. The ideas and forms that were provided are so helpful and have helped me to become more organized. So, if you want to be more organized and have more time for the truly important parts of your job, this course is just what you need!"

"This course is not easy, but it sure is worth it. There will be a lot to do, but all the activities are purposeful and effective. They are set up in a way that makes you feel very successful. AND, as a bonus, in four short weeks (seriously, it flew by!), I’ve front loaded a lot of the tasks on my organization to-do list for next school year, and am feeling confident and prepared. I even have a lesson plan for all my students for the first month of school! Do yourself a favor and take this course. You will not regret it."

"I was extremely impressed with how thorough this course was, there was so much material covered. I also appreciated how flexible the strategies were. Adapting the tools to fit my situation was encouraged and support within the private FB group helped with problem-solving solutions and to help stay on task to complete the program. The program is a lot of work, but SO worth the time and financial investment. I'll be so much more prepared for next school year now!"

I know that being a school SLP is difficult!
It is an ever-changing field with a huge range of children. I have found that the best way to meet the many needs of your clients is to be well organized.
Don’t wait until you are 15 years into your profession to figure these things out on your own like I did. Learn from my mistakes, trials and errors and really spend this time to invest in yourself.
Don't worry! I'll be there to help you ever step of the way!
Frequently asked questions
When does the course begin?
This course runs each summer. No worries if you are going on vacation in the midst of this time. Because this is an online course, there is great flexibility as when you actually begin and end the course. You have access to this course for (hopefully) years to come, so can work at your own pace if needed.
Does this course include continuing education credits?
This course is not sponsored by ASHA, so you cannot use these hours towards your registry. You will, however, receive 8.5 PDHs, Certification of Completion, at the end of the course. This certificate can be used towards your ASHA continuing education maintenance. Read more about this process: https://www.asha.org/certification/fact_records/
Why should I pay for this course?
I have combined my doctoral degree, 20+ years of experience, hundreds of blog posts, and 180+ materials and wrapped them all into one awesome course for you. This course will save you hundreds of hours of time finding this information yourself and will save you at least 40 hours of precious hours during the school year!
Will this course work for SLPs in pre-school and high school settings?
I work in an elementary school setting and my materials are primarily designed for that population. I have, however, had numerous students go through this course who work in a middle, high, or pre-school setting. They did need to adapt certain elements to better meet their needs and not all of the downloads were applicable. If you are in one of these settings, note that not everything in this course will apply to you.
Does this course apply to teletherapists?
Yes! This course was not originally designed for teletherapy, however, I have had teletherapists rave after completing it. Most of the lessons in this course are about electronic organization and materials. If you are a teletherapist or practicing distance learning, most of the modules will still apply!
How much time is involved?
I suggest that you initially go through the course quickly with a hypothetical caseload. This will require about one hour of lecture materials per week and 1-2 hours of homework. After your school year begins, go through the modules again with your actual caseload and students’ needs and re-do the work. You will have lifetime access to the course, so you can go through the materials at your own pace on the second time around.
Can experienced SLPs take this course?
Yes! If you struggle with organization, then this course is for you regardless of your years of experience. There is always more to learn and new ideas to try out.
What is the refund policy?
Of course I want you to be happy, so there is a 100% money back guarantee if you go the lessons and homework in the first module and still feel like this course does not meet your needs. However, you must request your refund within 7 days of purchase.
