This article will explain which S/L fields are imported by Pearson's Operations Team and how SLPs can update and verify information in the Vendor Management Data View. This article does NOT apply to LiveSpeech providers.
Please refer to this article if you are an SLP providing face to face (in person) services. This article is not applicable to LiveSpeech therapists who use a separate data view in the Pearson Online Classroom.
Check out the Scribe guide for How to Update the Vendor Management Data View for a more in-depth walk-through.
Speech/Language Therapists are responsible for maintaining Speech/Language Therapy fields in the Special Education Vendor Management Data View. Pearson's Operations Team will import the following fields once a therapist is assigned:
- Speech and Language Services
- Related service minutes per month
- SLP ID (if not LiveSpeech)
- Vendor - Speech/Language Services (2023-2024)
After the information above has been imported, speech/language therapists should review the fields for their assigned students and verify that the information is accurate. If necessary, please make changes.
How To Update Speech/Language Therapy Fields
- S/L Referral Status:
- Referral Needed: School selects this to indicate that the service is on the IEP, but
student hasn’t been referred yet. - Referral Sent: School selects this to indicate that a referral has been sent to the
vendor. - Therapist Assigned: School or therapist updates this field to confirm that a
therapist has accepted this assignment. - First Session Held: Therapist updates this field to confirm that the student has had their first therapy session.
- Referral Needed: School selects this to indicate that the service is on the IEP, but
- Date this service started (2023-2024): Therapist updates this field to indicate the date of the first successful therapy session that the student attended. This should correspond with a log note using Areas and Categories: Special Education - Related Services.
- Related Service Status:
- Receiving Services: Therapist should update this field after the student has had their first therapy session.
- WD: This field auto-populates when a student withdraws from a school. If you see this option selected, it typically means that the student withdrew from the school and re-enrolled.
- Discharged: This field should be selected if the student is dismissed from a related service area or exited from an IEP.
- Services Attempted but Not Attended: This field should be selected by the therapist if they are attempting to hold sessions with the student, but the student has never attended. Be sure to fill out the no show form and notify the special education leader and/or case manager if the continues to occur more than once.
- Date student was dismissed from this service (if applicable): If the student is dismissed
from a related service, the date of dismissal should be entered.
Remember, SLPs are responsible for keeping information up to date throughout the school year. If your student has had a change in service minutes, or you are a new therapist taking over a caseload for someone else, please update the appropriate fields in the DV.
