SUMTER, SC and CHARLOTTE, NC - June 16 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Caselite Software specializes in online therapy scheduling for Speech-Language Pathologists working in the schools; Sumter School District 17 in South Carolina is located near the geographic center of the state and is nationally known for excellence since receiving many prestigious recognitions including three National Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence Awards. The district enrolls more than 9,000 students in grades preschool through 12 and employs over 1,500 staff members.

"Therapy scheduling is a nightmare and Caselite is the best thing we've seen that can ease the pain in scheduling," Celeste F. Blackmon, CCC-SLP, Lead Speech Language Pathologist, said. "We have invested in Caselite Software's 2-Year Subscription so that our Speech Language Pathologists can cut down dramatically on scheduling time."

In a time when caseloads continue to grow and there are increasing federal/state/local guidelines for pull-out and inclusive speech-language therapy, Caselite Software provides an affordable and efficient way to schedule therapy services and tailor their schedules to the individual needs of the students.

In addition, the software allows district supervisors to view the schedules of the Speech-Language Pathologists through a web-based program, and eliminates pen-and-paper scheduling.

"Since we began working with Caselite, we have noticed that our input has been incorporated into the system and we are especially excited about the Administrator component," Blackmon explained.

Caselite Software allows Speech-Language Pathologists to schedule both individual and group therapy sessions in mere seconds. It groups students based on their therapy needs, grade, and availability.

An array of scheduling tools are offered that include: consideration of requested therapy times; schedule views from student, teacher or administration perspective; rotational/block schedules; flexibility to adapt for student turnover and administrative changes; information confidentiality; ability to meet district policies and government regulations by scheduling students at appropriate times and fulfilling frequency of service requirements.

Caselite Software was born out of necessity. The company, headquartered in Charlotte, NC, was founded by Marc T. Calello, a software engineer, and his wife, Monica Calello, M.S. CCC-SLP, to solve her scheduling needs while working in the local schools. The endless hours of scheduling, paperwork, and therapy planning, prompted the Calellos to fill a much-needed niche in the market.

The program is subscription based and a free online tour and demonstration of services, including auto scheduling, is offered.
