| I work in a the public schools and our district is working on a a Workload Plan for the district. It will be a guide for the district to use to make sure they have enough special education staff to do all the work required. I am on the committy to represent the OT/PT department.
1) Does anyone have a sample of a work load plan or know what their district guidlines are?
2) I remember seeing some articles from AOTA about workload vs Caseload,but now I can't find them. Any idea where they are?
3) In our district speech therapists have a caseload limit of 60 students. I am thinking that the COTAs and PTAs should have the same limit. There is currently no limit. The assistants of course do not have to do case-management that the speech therapists do. 60 Students is 12 students a day and we have found that to be a really full day. I am thinking that full time therapists should have a caseload limit of about 25-30 and part time therapists a caseload of about 15-20, because of all the evaluations and meetings, and other responsibilities.
4)Really should case load be determined by the number of students or the number of minutes we see students?
5) Any ideas on how to set guidelines for the real workload, not just caseload?
Please share any thoughts, experiences, or advice.
