Introducing Our SCIP App
Did you know that EBS created an app for your iPad that helps you enhance your therapy sessions by getting faster results in articulation and phonology? I’d like to introduce you to our revolutionary app, SCIP (Sound Contrasts In Phonology)!
SCIP is an evidence-based, therapeutic tool developed through a $1 million dollar NIH grant by ASHA President, Dr. A. Lynn Williams. Dr. Williams partnered with EBS Learning to create this revolutionary app to maximize therapy by increasing intelligibly in less time.
Our app gives you the most comprehensive collection of contrastive sound pairs so you can have a treatment tool right at your fingertips on your iPad.
SCIP is loaded with time-saving features that make your life easier:
- Create treatment programs with 5 contrastive approaches
- Add treatment profiles quickly and easily
- Treat individual students or groups
- Collect session data and graph data over time
- Each word has both an illustration and real picture
- Print illustrations
SCIP is just another benefit that you receive as an EBS employee. Please connect with your Career Specialist after August 1, 2021 if you are interested in utilizing the SCIP app for the upcoming school year.

Caselite Scheduling Software to the Rescue
As we continue to get closer to the upcoming school year, I wanted to make you aware of another added benefit for our employees: Caselite!
Caselite is our web-based intervention scheduling and documentation program. In a time where caseloads continue to grow, we provide an efficient way to schedule interventions. As a result, you can focus on tailoring your schedule to the individual needs of the students, rather than spending all their energy finding times that work.
For more information about our innovative scheduling software, please contact your Career Specialist or visit: www.caselitesoftware.com.

The EBS Clinical Fellowship Program is a commitment we make to you that you will receive the guidance, tools and resources you need throughout your career with us. EBS Regional Leads possess years of experience and have compiled a list of tips from their experiences to assist you as you begin your Clinical Fellowship.

Mapping Out Your School Year
Are you finding that you have so much to do and so little time to accomplish it?
Planning ahead for IEP or IFSP (Individualized Family Service Plans for Early Intervention) meetings, reevaluations, progress reporting periods, and state assessment administration dates will help you manage the busier times in your school year. Making small adjustments in your schedule to get (and stay!) organized will keep you on track, and you will find that you have more time to concentrate on what's really important – your students.
We have compiled some information that will assist you in mapping out important dates throughout the year so you can balance your time providing therapy and collaborating with team members. Check them out by clicking on the "View Resources" button!
