How LocalScribe Helps SLP and OT
For SLP and OT, the value is in preserving discipline-specific language, testing terms, cueing language, and template structure so the draft already sounds like the right discipline.
Test measures library for SLP and OT
Store tools like the CELF-5, GFTA-3, PLS-5, Beery VMI, BOT-2, PDMS-3, Sensory Profile, or other screeners with subscales, score descriptors, and interpretation notes. Then the model can write about those measures more intelligently when you reference them in your shorthand or reports.
Custom writing style and templates
Build templates for evaluations, progress notes, treatment notes, caregiver communication, school documentation, or re-evals with the section order and tone you prefer.
How LocalScribe uses your saved language
You save terms and definitions once. During drafting, that saved language can be provided as context so the note reflects the shorthand and clinical meaning you intended.
Saved context
- pragmatic language = social communication skills such as turn-taking, initiation, repair, and topic maintenance
- ADLs = activities of daily living with task-specific performance, assistance level, and functional implications
- mod cues = moderate verbal and visual cueing used during therapy tasks
Clinical content you type
school tx note. peer game/prag lang - mod cues turn-taking, stay on topic, ask peer ? back. zipper + lunch contnr min-mod assist. dysreg at start after noisy hallway, better after mvmt break. parent carryover HO sent.
Example SLP / OT Session Template
Templates can define both the headers and the exact instructions you want the AI model to follow inside each section.
Each section title can include its own instruction to the AI model, so the generated text under that header is shaped by the prompt you wrote for that section.
Goals Addressed
AI instruction: Name the speech, language, sensory, motor, or ADL goals targeted during the session and keep the wording concise.
Cueing / Assistance Level
AI instruction: Explain the amount of cueing, support, or assistance needed and connect it to functional performance.
Carryover / Communication
AI instruction: Summarize what was shared with caregivers, staff, or the school team and what should be reinforced outside session.
Example output from those instructions
Goals Addressed
Session targeted pragmatic language during peer interaction as well as fine-motor independence during school-based tasks.
Cueing / Assistance Level
Student required moderate verbal and visual cueing for social communication tasks and physical assistance for zipper and lunch-container tasks.
Carryover / Communication
Parent carryover materials were sent home to reinforce pragmatic-language supports and functional strategies outside session.
Why it fits this workflow
LocalScribe can run offline
Create notes while at school, in a patient's home, or during community-based services without needing internet, then export the note later into the EHR, school record, or other system of record.
More control over testing language
Keep preferred phrasing around scores, performance patterns, goal progress, sensory observations, and communication findings instead of rewriting outputs from scratch.
Shared system, specialty-specific language
The same LocalScribe workflow can support both SLP and OT, but each discipline can keep its own shorthand, examples, templates, and terminology definitions.
