How To Use

General Rules

• Leave sections blank where no information is available. Any sections left blank will not appear in or be included in the final report.
• Notes should be clear and meaningful; the quality of your notes directly affects the quality and completeness of the generated report. Comprehensive notes lead to more detailed and clinically useful reports. Spending time writing clear, inclusive notes will result in a higher-quality report and reduces overall report-writing time. Please reference our instruction videos to see clinical note examples.
• Maintain consistency throughout your notes. Ensure names are spelt consistently and capitalised correctly to avoid misinterpretation.
• This is a report-writing support tool. Clinicians must review the final report carefully and check for any discrepancies against the original assessment data. Any inconsistencies are most commonly due to unclear notes or spelling errors (for example, “can’t” instead of “can”).
• The DSM-5 section provides a summary overview based on the information entered. Please review this section carefully and add or amend information where clinically appropriate.
• The tool may make errors. All reports must be fully checked, and responsibility for accuracy remains with the clinician.
• This report-writing tool significantly reduces the time taken to write neurodevelopmental reports. It may take a short period of familiarisation to learn how to get the best out of the tool; however, as familiarity increases, further time savings are typically achieved.
• The tool incorporates both qualitative and coded information required for comprehensive neurodevelopmental diagnostic reports, helping to ensure key information is consistently included and omissions are minimised.
• All neurodevelopmental assessments must be administered using the official assessment booklets. This tool is intended for converting clinical notes and qualitative information following assessment administration.
