There are SO many questions about psychological and neuropsychological report writing, from beginner and advanced clinicians alike.

For this course, Dr. Jeremy Sharp tackles two of those questions: Readability and what to include.

If you haven’t checked the readability of your reports recently, chances are, they are WAY above the average person’s reading level.  So, to help with this, in part one of this course, Dr. Sharp talks about passive tense, jargon, extra words, poor layout AND why these matter.

In the second half of this course, Dr. Sharp focuses on what kind of content to actually include in your reports.

“But that’s easy,” you might say. We just include the background, results, interpretation, summary, and recommendations, right?

Well, research would suggest that our referring providers read and value some parts of the report much more than others.

For part two, Dr. Sharp will use research to help you figure out which parts are most important, and how to arrange that information in your reports.

*Note: much of the content from part one is derived from Dr. Dean Beebe’s workshop on pediatric report-writing from the AACN 2019 conference.
