Shared with you by a provider on your team
A provider on your team shared their workload analysis.
PULSE calculates whether mandated IEP services are deliverable within contracted time — not estimates, not gut feelings. Research-grounded data for the staffing conversations you need to have.
Why this number matters
Special education providers have been saying “I'm overloaded” for years. PULSE gives that claim a number — calculated from the CBA, the IEP service schedule, and the research-grounded time standards from ASHA, NASP, and AOTA.
When utilization exceeds 85%, providers cannot deliver all mandated services within contracted time without working off the clock. That's not just a burnout risk — it's an IDEA §300.323 compliance exposure.
The FTE gap tells you exactly how much additional staffing the actual workload requires — the number that belongs in a budget conversation with HR and your superintendent.
