What SLPDesk adds for school teams
763 therapy activities
Theralytics focuses on documentation, not delivery. SLPDesk includes a full activity library with real-time collaborative delivery, flashcards, drill modes, and a custom builder.
SLPA delegation
Theralytics has no SLPA workflow. SLPDesk supports full delegation, supervisor co-sign review, attestation tracking, and an immutable audit trail.
Free to start
Theralytics requires a paid plan from day one. SLPDesk has a free tier — no credit card, no sales call, no time limit — so your team can evaluate it properly.
Documentation plus everything else school SLPs need.
SLPDesk is the only platform built end-to-end for school-based speech-language pathologists — from IEP goals to Medicaid billing to AI notes.
