How Speech Pathology works in SkillScorer
Score
Each clinician in a ward is scored on the Speech Pathology skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank clinicians, compare two side by side, or compare your wards against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Speech Pathology skills need attention. Reports also follow each senior clinician's ward.
Speech Pathology scorecard: common questions

SkillScorer's Speech Pathology scorecard covers 12 skills: Communication Assessment, Swallowing Assessment, Therapy Planning, Paediatric Language Intervention, Fluency and Voice Therapy, Augmentative and Alternative Communication, Family and Carer Coaching, Progress Monitoring, Report Writing, Cultural and Linguistic Sensitivity, Multidisciplinary Teamwork and Clinical Reasoning. Each one comes with a written description of what it measures, and you can edit, rename, remove or add skills to suit your organisation.
How are clinicians scored in Speech Pathology?
Every clinician is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one ward and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.
Which levels come with Speech Pathology?
Speech Pathology starts with these levels (called “Band” in the app): Student, Graduate Speech Pathologist, Speech Pathologist, Senior Speech Pathologist, Principal and Manager. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Speech Pathology skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In healthcare the app talks about clinicians, wards and senior clinicians, and you can change any of those words too.
