Speech and language evaluation reports, one shortcut each

This pack holds the speech language evaluation report template a school SLP fills in for every student, with text boxes and drop-down menus for the details that change. Type a shortcut in your report, Google Docs or the district's IEP system and the structure appears, with the pronouns, dates and scores you enter.

What's inside

• /slpreport: the full report. Reason for referral, background, assessment procedures, results by area, clinical impressions, eligibility and recommendations. Choose she, he or they once and every "her", "his" or "their" follows. The chronological age is worked out from the two dates, and each standard score gets its range (below, within or above the average range).
• /reeval: the triennial re-evaluation, with current services, progress since the last evaluation, updated testing (or the team's decision to skip it) and continued eligibility.
• /slpdc: the discharge summary, with goals and status, the reason for discharge and carryover ideas for the family.

Shorter snippets for commonly typed sentences

• The average range sentence, /avg, and the below-average sentence with its standard score and percentile, /below.
• Test descriptions for a broad language test (/tdlang) and a single-word articulation test (/tdart). They say what the test measures and how scores are reported, with the test name in a text box. No test items or norms are included.
• The recommendations opener (/recs), the background and history header (/bghist) and the language sample lead-in (/lsamp).

An eval report in the hour you have

Eval reports take 45 minutes to 3 hours, and much of that is sentences you have typed before. Make the templates your own with your tests and wording.

Use /slpreport on your next evaluation. Then save one sentence you type often as your own snippet: /avg is a good first one, since it sits under almost every score table.
