Speech Language Pathology: Best Practices in Exxat Prism

This webinar featured account manager Priscilla Bruntmyer walking SLP program administrators through best practices across four key areas — student management, curriculum management, practicum/internship management, and learning activities. The session highlighted several new features built with SLP programs in mind, including student self-placement, copy/pre-populate evaluation responses, and program requirement tracking, all demonstrated live within the Exxat Prism system.

Key Takeaways:

• The Student 360 dashboard, tags, and publishable interventions create an advising toolkit. Program administrators can use the student profile's 360 overview as a real-time dashboard for tracking progression toward graduation requirements, while student tags (visible only to admins) help flag things like bilingual status or accommodations for smarter placement decisions — and interventions can now be published directly to students for added accountability.
   
• Student self-placement, built specifically with SLP programs in mind, reduces administrative burden for predictable placements. Since many SLP programs already have students involved in finding their own placements, this new feature formalizes the process within Exxat Prism — ideal for on-campus clinics, simulation hours, or interview-confirmed sites — with programs retaining full control through approval settings and students limited to selecting only locations already in the system.
   
• The new "copy responses" feature for evaluations is a significant time-saver for clinical supervisors. When midterm and final evaluations use the same form, supervisors can now copy midterm scores into the final and simply adjust where needed rather than re-entering every field from scratch — reducing the clicking burden.
   
• Color-coded setting labels and accreditation-aligned naming conventions make placement equity visible at a glance. Priscilla strongly recommended aligning setting labels (school-based, medical, SNF/rehab, private practice) directly to CAA accreditation categories and color-coding them, so that a quick look at a cohort's placement board immediately reveals whether every student has the required breadth of clinical settings.
   
• Attestations, low-score notifications, and response-based alerts enable proactive rather than reactive student monitoring. Programs can embed attestations at the cohort, course, and clinical log levels to document that students have received required information, while automated email notifications for low evaluation scores or specific supervisor responses (like requesting university intervention) ensure clinical coordinators catch concerns in real time rather than after the rotation ends.
