What you'll accomplish
By the end of this guide, you'll have a reliable workflow for using Claude to draft full sections of your speech-language evaluation reports from your test scores and clinical notes — cutting report writing time from 4-16 hours down to 1-3 hours. The AI drafts the clinical prose; you provide the data and clinical judgment.
What you'll need
- A Claude account (claude.ai — free tier works, Pro recommended for longer reports)
- Your completed test scoring forms and session notes from the evaluation
- Time needed: 10 minutes to set up your prompt template; 1-3 hours per report thereafter
- Cost: Free plan (limited messages); Pro plan $20/month (recommended for full-length reports)
