What's Actually Slowing Your Speech Therapist Business Down
Speech therapists work primarily with children and adults who require daily home practice between sessions to achieve meaningful progress, making consistent parent and carer communication essential. Automation delivers structured home practice reminders and progress tracking tools that extend the therapeutic relationship beyond the clinic.
Home practice compliance drops sharply within 48 hours of a session without structured reminders
Parents of paediatric clients need consistent guidance between sessions but contact is sporadic
Session progress notes and goal updates are not shared with families in a structured, accessible format
Waitlisted clients receive no communication and frequently book elsewhere while waiting
What We Build for Speech Therapist Businesses
Production-grade n8n workflows built specifically for speech therapist businesses. Every workflow handles edge cases, retries on failure, and alerts you when something needs attention.
Daily Home Practice Reminders
Parents or adult clients receive a daily SMS reminder to complete their home practice activities, with a simple reply to log completion. Non-completions are flagged for discussion at the next session.
Time saved
2h/week
Impact
Improves home practice compliance by 50%
Post-Session Parent Summary
After each paediatric session, Claude AI generates a plain-language summary of what was worked on and how to practice at home, automatically emailed to the parent within 1 hour.
Time saved
3h/week
Impact
Increases parent engagement and satisfaction scores by 35%
Waitlist Nurture & Intake
Waitlisted clients receive a monthly check-in with estimated wait time updates and a digital intake form to complete in advance, so their first session can begin immediately upon availability.
Time saved
2h/week
Impact
Retains 65% of waitlisted clients and reduces first-session admin
Goal Progress Milestone Alerts
When a client achieves a tracked speech or language goal, an automated celebration message is sent to the family, reinforcing progress and motivating continued engagement.
Time saved
1h/week
Impact
Increases family motivation and reduces early programme dropout

Frequently Asked, By Speech Therapist Businesses
Can home practice reminders be customised per client based on their current goals?
Yes, each client's current practice targets are stored in the system and referenced in their personalised daily reminder messages.
Is the parent summary sent automatically or does the therapist need to approve it first?
Both options are available. You can set it to auto-send after each session or route through an approval step where the therapist reviews and edits before dispatch.
Can adult clients receive reminders directly rather than having them sent to a carer?
Yes, reminders are configured per client to go to the client directly or to a nominated carer, based on the client's age and preference.
