AI for Speech-Language Pathologist
Evaluation reports alone take 4–16 hours each, daily SOAP notes add another 1.5–2.5 hours, and school-based SLPs are writing SMART IEP goals for 50–80+ students every year on top of all of it. These guides help you draft evaluation reports and session notes faster, generate IEP goals from your clinical observations, and create parent-friendly home practice materials without starting from scratch every time.

Draft an Evaluation Report Section from Test Scores
A professionally written narrative section for your evaluation report, interpreting standardized test scores with functional impact language — ready to edit and drop into your report.
Write the Assessment Results section of a speech-language evaluation report. Patient: [age]-year-old referred for [reason]. Test: [test name], Standard Score [X], [Xth] percentile. Clinical observations: [2-3 bullets]. Include a functional impact statement.
Tip: Add "Use formal clinical report language, not conversational tone" if the output reads too casual for your documentation standards. Include your clinical observations as specific behaviors, not conclusions — the AI writes better prose when you give it raw detail to work with.
Generate a Custom Fluency Practice Passage
A reading passage for fluency (stuttering) therapy at a specific difficulty level and topic, with appropriate sentence length and phoneme load for practicing techniques like Easy Onset or Light Con...
Write a [X]-word reading passage for a [age]-year-old practicing [fluency technique: Easy Onset/Light Contact/Slow Rate]. Topic: [patient's interest]. Use [short/medium] sentences. Include [X] words that begin with vowels. Avoid tongue-twister-like clusters.
Tip: Add "Make the passage a short story with a simple narrative arc" to increase engagement for children and adolescents who find standard reading passages boring. Specify the patient's exact interest (e.g., "Minecraft" or "soccer" rather than "games") for a passage they'll actually want to read.
Create a Home Practice Packet for Parents
A complete, parent-friendly home practice handout with activity instructions, practice words, cueing guidance, and a practice log — customized to your patient's specific therapy targets.
Create a home practice handout for parents of a [age]-year-old working on [therapy target/goal]. Include: [X] practice words, 2 simple activities, instructions for giving cues, and a weekly practice tracker. Write for a parent with no speech therapy background.
Tip: Add "Format with headers and bullet points" for busy parents who need to scan quickly, or "Include a FAQ section" if your families tend to ask the same questions each week. Specifying the parent's literacy level (e.g., "Write for a parent with a 6th-grade reading level") prevents jargon from slipping in.
Write SMART IEP Goals in Minutes
Three complete, legally defensible SMART IEP goals with baseline, conditions, behavior, criterion, and timeframe — ready for the IEP document.
Write 3 SMART annual IEP speech-language goals for a [age]-year-old with [diagnosis]. Current performance: [brief description of baseline]. Target skills: [what you want them to achieve]. Use 80% accuracy criterion across 3 sessions unless I specify otherwise.
Tip: Add "Include a short-term objective for each annual goal" if your district requires benchmarks. Always verify that the baseline and criterion in the output match your actual data — AI fills in plausible-sounding numbers that may not reflect your student's performance.
