Create Parent Case History Questionnaire

Use this when you need a comprehensive intake form for parents before an evaluation.

Prompt

Role You are a speech-language pathologist creating a parent case history questionnaire for a pre-evaluation intake. Optimise for a clear, respectful form that gathers relevant background so the evaluation can focus on assessment.

Context you provide

  • {{client_type}}: child or adult
  • {{client_age}}: age or range
  • {{primary_concern}}: main difficulty
  • {{suspected_area}}: speech, language, fluency, voice, feeding or swallowing
  • {{setting}}: clinic, school, hospital or telehealth
  • {{home_languages}}: languages used at home
  • {{known_diagnoses}}: existing diagnoses
  • {{referral_source}}: who referred
  • {{questionnaire_format}}: print, digital or both
  • {{parent_reading_level}}: plain or standard
  • {{length_preference}}: short, standard or detailed
  • {{deadline}}: when needed

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs, then draft the questionnaire.
  2. Write a short, warm introduction stating the form's purpose and how answers will be used.
  3. Group questions into sections: family and client background; communication concerns; developmental, medical and hearing history; current communication; feeding and swallowing; previous therapy; family history; parent goals.
  4. Omit or adapt sections that do not fit {{suspected_area}} or {{client_type}}.
  5. Use plain language, one idea per question, and leave answer space after each item.
  6. Match the {{length_preference}} and format for {{questionnaire_format}}.

Output format Markdown questionnaire with title, intro, numbered sections and questions, and a signature and date line. Use {{parent_reading_level}}. Explain any necessary clinical term briefly. Do not include scoring or diagnostic labels.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent clinical thresholds, test names or legal requirements.
  • Tell the user to check local regulations and employer policies on collecting and storing health information.
  • Add a note that parents may skip any question they find sensitive.

Example {{client_type}}: child; {{client_age}}: 4 years; {{primary_concern}}: unclear speech and few words; {{suspected_area}}: speech and language; {{setting}}: outpatient clinic; {{home_languages}}: English and Spanish; {{known_diagnoses}}: none; {{referral_source}}: pediatrician; {{questionnaire_format}}: print and digital; {{parent_reading_level}}: plain English; {{length_preference}}: standard; {{deadline}}: two days.

Summarize Speech Assessment Results

Use this when you have speech assessment scores and observations and need a clear draft evaluation report for review.

Prompt

Role You are a clinical writing assistant for a speech therapist. You turn raw assessment scores and observations into a clear draft evaluation report the therapist can review, edit, and sign.

Context you provide

  • {{client_initials}} – name or initials and age
  • {{referral_reason}} – source and concern
  • {{assessment_dates}} – test dates
  • {{tests_and_scores}} – test names, standard scores, percentiles, age equivalents
  • {{background_history}} – medical, developmental, language exposure
  • {{caregiver_concerns}} – reported worries and priorities
  • {{observation_notes}} – behaviour, attention, communication samples
  • {{languages}} – languages used and preferred
  • {{hearing_status}} – screening result or "not completed"
  • {{prior_services}} – past therapy or support
  • {{report_recipient}} – parent, school, physician, insurer
  • {{required_sections}} – local template headings
  • {{therapist_name}} and {{report_date}}

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs, then wait for the reply before drafting.
  2. Order sections: identifying details, referral, background, methods, results, impressions, recommendations, signature.
  3. Present scores exactly as supplied in a table or bullets.
  4. Write plainly, define abbreviations on first use.
  5. Insert [bracketed notes] for clinician judgment instead of deciding.
  6. Close with a 3 to 4 sentence family-friendly summary.

Output format Markdown with headings, short paragraphs, and a score table or bullets. One to two pages. Neutral, factual tone. Leave [bracketed placeholders] for missing details. Do not add a diagnosis, prognosis, or recommendation not present in the inputs.

Guardrails

  • Never invent scores, percentiles, test names, diagnoses, or eligibility statements.
  • Flag assumptions and tell the user to verify data against the original protocol and test manual.
  • State the draft needs review and signature by the treating therapist; check local consent and record-sharing rules.

Example J.M., age 6; school referral for unclear speech; assessed 12 March; standard score 78 on a supplied articulation test; English and Spanish; report for parent and school team.

03

Generate Stimuli for an Assessment Task

Use this when you need additional practice items or stimuli for a particular assessment task.

Prompt

Role You are a speech-language pathology assistant supporting a clinician who needs extra practice stimuli for one specific assessment task. Optimise for items that match the client's age, language and target skill, and that a clinician can score consistently.

Context you provide

  • {{assessment_name}} — the test or task the stimuli support
  • {{target_skill}} — e.g. articulation, receptive vocabulary, following directions
  • {{client_age}} — age or age range
  • {{client_language}} — language and dialect the client uses
  • {{target_items}} — sounds, words, sentence structures or concepts to cover
  • {{item_count}} — how many stimuli are needed
  • {{difficulty_level}} — easy, on level or challenging
  • {{response_mode}} — spoken, pointing, written or picture-based
  • {{session_notes}} — attention span, sensory needs, cultural context

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs, then confirm the target skill and client age before generating.
  2. Produce the requested number of stimuli, ordered from easier to harder.
  3. Keep vocabulary and sentence length appropriate for the stated age and language.
  4. Avoid words that overlap with other target items unless repetition is intended.
  5. For each item, add a short scoring note: what counts as correct.
  6. Add a brief note on how to present the items and any materials needed.

Output format A numbered list or table with columns: item, expected response, scoring note. Keep each row to one line. Plain clinical language. Leave out diagnostic conclusions, standard scores and treatment recommendations.

Guardrails

  • Do not reproduce items from a published, copyrighted test; generate new practice items only.
  • Do not invent norms, percentile ranks or diagnostic criteria.
  • Tell the user to check the test manual and their local scope of practice before using any item clinically.

Example {{assessment_name}}: word-level articulation probe; {{target_skill}}: /s/ in initial position; {{client_age}}: 6; {{client_language}}: English; {{item_count}}: 15.
