SLP Draft vs. SLP Toolkit for School SLPs
Both support everyday school SLP work, including session data and progress monitoring, with different strengths: SLP Toolkit emphasizes built-in present-level assessments, rubrics and goal development; SLP Draft centers on daily goal and session data and the progress and report writing drafted from it. SLP Draft is school-based SLP software for therapy data collection, IEP goal tracking, progress monitoring, evaluation-report drafting and Activity Studio activity creation.
Key differences in brief
- Where they overlap: both record school session data and show goal progress.
- SLP Toolkit's documented strengths: built-in present-level assessments, rubrics, custom tests, a SMART goal bank and a dedicated district program.
- SLP Draft's documented focus: one workspace where trial-by-trial session data, progress drafts, present levels and evaluation-report drafts come from the same saved student and goal records, plus Activity Studio for goal-based activity plans.
- Published individual terms: SLP Draft $24/month or $240/year with a 14-day trial; SLP Toolkit $29/month or $215/year with a 30-day trial. SLP Toolkit's yearly price is lower.
Neither list proves one product is better for every SLP. See every SLP Draft feature and its limits.

Who SLP Toolkit is for
SLP Toolkit is the more specifically documented fit when your priority is present-level assessments with built-in tests and rubrics, custom tests and a SMART goal bank. Its public district offering is also more developed around team management and district-wide reporting.
SLP Toolkit publishes a dedicated district program. That supports district availability, not an independently verified adoption count or proof of superior outcomes. Built-in tests and rubrics do not replace a comprehensive evaluation when one is needed.
Who SLP Draft is for
Consider SLP Draft when you want one all-in-one workspace to keep students and IEP goals, record individual or group trials during therapy, write session notes, keep a caseload schedule, and use those saved records for progress drafts. It also supports present levels and evaluation-report drafting from clinical evidence you enter, including official assessment scores, with clinician review and .docx export. Activity Studio plans therapy activities from the same students’ active goals.
It does not score standardized tests, contain publishers’ norms, make diagnoses or establish legal compliance. Generated wording can be wrong; check every score, count, interpretation and final document against your records. For a needs-first checklist, read the evaluation reports and live-data alternative guide. To compare more SLP software options, see the 2026 SLP software comparison or AI evaluation report writers compared.
Known SLP Draft limitations
- Informal screening tools, AI-assisted goal suggestions and a personal goal bank are included; these are not standardized test kits, validated diagnostic screeners or a pre-populated SMART goal catalog.
- No scoring of standardized tests and no publishers' norm tables; you enter official scores.
- No direct SEIS, IEP-system or Medicaid billing connection; progress updates are copied and evaluation reports export to Word.
- No published district price; district licensing is by inquiry.
- AI-drafted wording can be wrong and must be reviewed against your records before use.
See SLP Draft's workflow (fictional example)
A text version of the walkthrough on the homepage. "Maya R." is a fictional student, and every number comes from the fictional sessions shown there.
- Add a goal. Add a student with initials or a case code, then paste the IEP goal you already have. It stays word-for-word: “Given a short story, Maya will answer concrete WH questions with 80% accuracy across three consecutive sessions.”
- Collect live session data. During the session, tap each trial box: once for correct, twice for incorrect, three times for prompted. Each tap saves by student, goal and date. In the latest fictional session Maya had 7 of 9 correct (78%) with 1 prompted trial.
- View goal progress. Each goal has its own progress view built from the saved sessions: Oct 6, 2026: 5 of 9 (56%); Oct 8, 2026: 6 of 9 (67%); Oct 13, 2026: 7 of 9 (78%). Pooled: 18 of 27 (67%). Prompted trials stay separate from independent accuracy.
- Draft progress documentation. Ask for a progress update and the draft is written only from the recorded data, including when a goal is not met yet. Example: “Across three sessions (Oct 6, 2026 – Oct 13, 2026), Maya answered concrete WH questions correctly and independently in 18 of 27 trials (67%), rising from 56% to 78%. 4 trials needed a prompt. The goal requires 80% across three consecutive sessions, which has not been met yet.”
- Review, edit and save. Every sentence is editable. Save, copy, or export after you have reviewed it; nothing is shared without your review.
Separately: Activity Studio
- Pick a student or group. Their active goals load in, so the plan targets only the goal areas on file.
- Choose a length and theme. For example, a 10-minute warm-up or a full 30-minute session.
- Review the plan. Activity Studio drafts countable activities you can take data on, with checked video links or printable resources where available. Edit anything that does not fit.
- Save or use it today. Save the plan, or use it in today's session and take data in the same app.

- Check how independent and prompted trials appear in an individual progress update; compare with this fictional progress report worked from session data.
- Enter a scored assessment and inspect a sample evaluation report and Word export.
- Confirm district approval, contracts, accessibility and any payer requirements separately.

Frequently asked questions
- Does SLP Draft replace every SLP Toolkit feature?
- No. SLP Toolkit has present-level assessments with built-in tests and rubrics, custom tests, a SMART goal bank and district tools. SLP Draft focuses on live session data, clinician-reviewed documentation drafts and goal-based activity planning in Activity Studio. Decide which jobs you need, rather than assuming either product replaces the other.
- Is SLP Draft only an evaluation report writer?
- No. SLP Draft is an all-in-one workspace for school SLPs: students and IEP goals, live trial data for individual and group sessions, session notes, a caseload schedule with missed sessions and makeups, goal progress graphs, progress updates and present levels. Evaluation-report drafting with Word export is one part, and Activity Studio plans goal-based activities. It includes informal screening tools, AI-assisted goal suggestions and a personal reusable goal bank, not standardized test kits or a pre-populated SMART goal catalog. There is no direct IEP-system or Medicaid billing connection.
- Does SLP Draft score standardized assessments?
- No. Clinicians enter official scores from their test manual or scoring software. SLP Draft uses entered scores, observations and notes to help draft evaluation sections; it does not provide publishers’ norm tables or decide eligibility.
- What are the published individual prices and trials?
- Checked November 1, 2026: SLP Draft lists $24/month or $240/year with a 14-day no-card trial. SLP Toolkit lists $29/month or $215/year with a 30-day trial, and says every plan includes every feature and unlimited students. Check each official pricing page for current purchase and cancellation terms.
- Can I use SLP Toolkit and SLP Draft together?
- Yes, if your district allows both. Some SLPs may keep present-level assessments and rubrics in SLP Toolkit and use SLP Draft for evaluation drafts and progress writing. Paying for both costs more, so try each with fictional records first and keep only what you use.
- Which is better for school-based SLP data collection?
- It depends on the job. Both record session data and show progress. SLP Draft records trial-by-trial correct, incorrect and prompted attempts per student and goal, including in groups, and turns those saved records into progress update drafts. SLP Toolkit documents daily data collection alongside its built-in assessments, rubrics and goal bank. Try both with fictional student codes and compare the saved records.
- Can I see how SLP Draft works before signing up?
- Yes. The homepage has a step-by-step walkthrough with a fictional student, from adding a goal to a progress draft, plus a separate Activity Studio example. There is also a full de-identified sample report and free tools, such as the MLU calculator, that need no account.
- Are these companies affiliated?
- No. SLP Draft is not affiliated with or endorsed by SLP Toolkit. Product names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
