Because all speech-language pathologists are responsible for collecting data, in this article I will touch on some of the differences in data collection systems with evolving technology and then focus primarily on using Google forms and spreadsheets in the school therapy setting. There are strengths and drawbacks with most of the systems.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Div16Perspectives/~4/zUntRe-i7OI" height="1" width="1"/> 2013-03-18T10:00:27-07:00 info:doi/10.1044/sbi14.1.4 hwp:resource-id:ashasbi;14/1/4 2013-03-01 Articles 14 1 4 9 http://div16perspectives.asha.org/cgi/content/abstract/14/1/4?rss=1 http://feeds.asha.org/~r/Div16Perspectives/~3/_oFBg_b93wo/10 <p>With the demands of paperwork in the field of speech-language pathology, school professionals are looking to technology to become more efficient. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (<cross-ref type="bib" refid="R12">2004</cross-ref>) requires that experts collect data for a variety of purposes, while the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) provide protection of privacy and confidentiality. Speech-language pathologists are considering mobile- and tablet-based applications (apps) for data collection and management because these devices are portable, affordable, and available. In this article, I will explore considerations and resources for app selection related to data collection and management.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Div16Perspectives/~4/_oFBg_b93wo" height="1" width="1"/> 2013-03-18T10:00:27-07:00 info:doi/10.1044/sbi14.1.10 hwp:resource-id:ashasbi;14/1/10 2013-03-01 Articles 14 1 10 14 http://div16perspectives.asha.org/cgi/content/abstract/14/1/10?rss=1
