SLP Toolkit and EASI both help school SLPs with caseload paperwork, but they are built around different jobs. Here is a plain, fair comparison so you can pick the tool, or the pair of tools, that matches the work in front of you.
- SLP Toolkit is a daily clinical workspace for school SLPs. It puts present level assessments, progress monitoring tests and rubrics, a SMART goal bank, daily data collection, graphing, scheduling, and attendance and billing in one place [1].
- EASI (Evaluative Artificial Speech Intelligence, pronounced "easy"), from iTherapy, LLC, is a clinician controlled clinical management system for SLPs. It covers language sample analysis, evaluation reports (in beta), measurable SMART IEP goal drafts, daily session notes, progress reports, lesson planning, therapy materials and MySLP.
This page is not here to say one is "better." You stay in charge of every clinical decision either way.
The short answer
- Choose SLP Toolkit if your main need is taking daily goal data with plus and minus marks, running criterion referenced present level assessments and rubrics, and printing graphed data for IEP meetings and Medicaid billing.
- Choose EASI if your main need is language sample analysis (MLU, NDW, PCC, IPSyn, intelligibility and a morpheme breakdown) from a transcript you review, plus drafted evaluation reports, session notes and progress reports that you edit and sign.
- Use both if you already rely on SLP Toolkit for day to day data. Many SLPs keep SLP Toolkit for daily goal data and add EASI for evaluations, language sample analysis, reports and progress reports.
EASI vs SLP Toolkit at a glance
SLP Toolkit details come from slptoolkit.com and the SLP Toolkit help center. EASI details come from easi-as.com. Details can change, so check each company's site before you buy.
| Feature | EASI | SLP Toolkit |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A clinician controlled clinical management system for SLPs, built around language samples, reports, notes and planning | A daily clinical workspace for school SLPs: present levels, progress monitoring and daily data in one place [1] |
| Daily session data | Daily session notes per student. Record, add files, type or use quick marks, and EASI drafts a SOAP note, a narrative or a quick note linked to the student's goals. You read and change the draft before it is saved [6] | Tap plus for correct and minus for incorrect responses during a session, measured by accuracy, opportunity or frequency. Group sessions have a group notes section for the plan, and each student has a notes field [3] |
| Present levels and assessment | Language sample analysis from your own recorded or uploaded sample. EASI does not administer or score standardized tests | Present level assessments and a library of built in criterion referenced tests and rubrics, in English and Spanish for the language assessments, plus custom tests [1][3] |
| Language sample measures | MLU, NDW, PCC, IPSyn, intelligibility and a morpheme breakdown, calculated only after you review and attest every transcript line [8] | We did not find automated language sample analysis on SLP Toolkit's public pages. The session notes field can hold observations such as language samples [3] |
| Graphs | Progress charts plot language sample measures such as MLU, PCC and IPSyn by sample date, and goal accuracy against a goal target line | Goal data graphs automatically, with an average line on the goal graph [1][4] |
| Goals | Measurable SMART IEP goal drafts from the report, for your review | SMART goal bank you can save and reuse [1] |
| Progress reports | Choose the student, reporting period and goals, add your notes and uploaded reports, and EASI drafts progress on each goal. You choose the progress for each goal and sign [7] | Data Sorted by Goal report with an optional graph, a Student Progress report for tests and rubrics, and an AI Assistant that can write a narrative summary from an uploaded report [5] |
| Evaluation reports | Editable evaluation report drafts (in beta). You review, edit and approve before export | Not a feature SLP Toolkit lists on its public pages |
| Scheduling, attendance and billing | Caseload management, with scheduling in beta | Caseload scheduling, attendance and billing, with copy and paste of data and notes into Medicaid billing software and a billing export [1][3] |
| AI assistant | MySLP is included. It works with your EASI caseload to plan sessions, make data sheets, core boards and home programs, and check report drafts | AI Assistant for narrative summaries; SLP Toolkit advises removing identifying information before you upload [5] |
| Privacy | HIPAA and FERPA compliant, with a BAA and insurance. Districts can request NDPA documents | See SLP Toolkit's own privacy and district materials |
| Individual price | $39 for 30 days or $199 for 12 months through NorthernSpeech.com/EASI | $29 a month or $215 a year, with a free 30 day trial [1][2] |
| Districts | Group pricing by quote from Northern Speech Services | $235 per license per year, with group rates [2] |
Where they are genuinely different
- Where the data comes from. SLP Toolkit graphs the goal data you enter during sessions and the scores from its tests and rubrics [3][4]. EASI measures language from a sample of the child talking, after you check the transcript.
- Daily data versus documentation drafts. SLP Toolkit is strongest at taking and organizing trial by trial goal data. EASI is built to draft the writing around your caseload: session notes, progress reports and evaluation reports that you review and sign.
- Language sample analysis. EASI calculates MLU, NDW, PCC, IPSyn, intelligibility and a morpheme breakdown. We did not find this on SLP Toolkit's public pages, so if it matters to you, ask SLP Toolkit directly.
Can I use both?
Yes. A common setup for a school SLP who sees students in small groups:
- Keep SLP Toolkit for daily goal data, present level checks and Medicaid billing.
- Use EASI when you need a language sample for an evaluation or a reevaluation, when you want a session note drafted from your quick marks or a recording, and when progress reports are due.
If budget is tight, EASI also has a 30 day option, so you can use it for an evaluation season or a progress reporting window and stop when you are done.
How EASI keeps you in charge
- You check the transcript. You play each line, fix it and attest it. EASI calculates scores only after that [8].
- You edit every draft. Notes, progress reports and evaluation reports are drafts until you change them and sign [6][7].
- You make the clinical calls. EASI does not diagnose, decide eligibility, or administer or score standardized tests.
Frequently asked questions
Does EASI replace SLP Toolkit?
Not necessarily. They overlap on goals, notes and progress reports, but SLP Toolkit centers on daily goal data and criterion referenced assessments, and EASI centers on language sample analysis and drafted documentation. Many SLPs use both.
Can EASI take daily notes for students I see in groups?
EASI drafts a session note for each student, linked to that student's goals, in SOAP, narrative or quick note format. See how to draft daily session notes in EASI.
Can EASI help with progress monitoring?
Yes, from two directions. EASI charts language sample measures such as MLU, PCC and IPSyn across samples over time, and it drafts goal by goal progress reports from your notes and uploaded reports. See how to draft a progress report in EASI.
Does EASI score standardized tests?
No. EASI does not administer or score standardized tests. You can upload your own reports and documents as evidence for a progress report.
How do I fix a transcript before EASI scores it?
See how to edit an EASI transcript.
What does EASI cost?
$39 for 30 days or $199 for 12 months through NorthernSpeech.com/EASI. MySLP is included.
