The travelling school caseload
School-based work means working on networks you don't control, in buildings where guest WiFi is a rumour. The mobile app treats a school like any other field site: the day's charts travel with you, sessions are documented in the moment, and sync waits until you're back in coverage.
Scheduling handles the term's rhythm — recurring session slots per school, the day sheet grouping the day by site rather than forcing one clinic's shape onto a peripatetic week.
How a school day actually runs
Four sessions at the primary school before lunch, documented in the corridor gaps between them. The classroom teacher's observation goes into the note while it's fresh. After hours, two home programs go out through the portal and one parent PROM comes back completed before tomorrow's review. End of term, progress reports for six students draft from goal data the term already produced.
What matters most for school work
The capabilities school caseloads lean on hardest:
- Offline documentation on locked-down school networks
- Plain-language home programs that reach parents
- Goal-based episodes that make term reports evidence
- PROMs from parents collected before reviews, not during them
Children's records, without a second custodian
A school caseload concentrates minors' records — the one category where families are most protective and regulators least forgiving. SideClick's structure keeps the school relationship clean: the practice holds the record, the school receives exactly the reports you choose to export, and no third-party platform sits between clinician, family and file. What each party can see is a decision you make per document, not a sharing setting you hope is right.
Questions, answered
Is SideClick suitable for school-contracted therapy services?
Yes. Site-based scheduling, offline documentation, parent communication and term reporting are the daily loop the product handles; the practice remains the records custodian throughout.
Do schools get access to SideClick?
No. Schools receive the documents you export for them — progress reports, attendance summaries — as PDFs. System access stays within the practice.
How do parents stay in the loop?
Through the portal on Portal editions: home programs in plain language, secure messages that land on the child's chart, and PROM forms completed at home before reviews.
Can I work across multiple schools in one day?
Yes — the day sheet handles multi-site days, each session opens its own chart, and the offline queue doesn't care how many networks you crossed. Sync reconciles the whole day the next time you have coverage, whether that's between schools or back at the clinic.
Who owns the records for school-contracted work?
The practice does, as the clinical custodian — schools receive the reports you export, never system access. If your contract requires specific record-sharing, you control exactly which documents cross that line.
