Behavioral Observations

Testing Conditions

• Setting Characteristics: [Room, materials, noise level, distractions]

• Rapport-Building Approach: [Strategies used to engage the child]
• Accommodations/Modifications Used: [Visual supports, breaks, positioning, adapted materials, interpreter] (Specify deviations from standard administration.)
• Barriers Encountered: [Technology issues, environment, health, behavior] (Describe impact on testing.)

Observed Behaviors

(Document objective behaviors without psychodynamic interpretation.)

• Engagement and Cooperation: [Approach to tasks, separation from caregiver]
• Attention and Activity Level: [Sustained attention, distractibility, impulsivity, need for redirection]
• Regulation and Frustration Tolerance: [Transitions, tolerance of challenge, recovery after upset]

• Language During Testing: [Intelligibility, vocabulary, echolalia, pragmatic use, AAC use]
• Motor and Sensory Behaviors: [Gross/fine motor quality, tone, gait, sensory-seeking/avoidant behaviors]
• Play/Problem-Solving Approaches: [Exploration, persistence, strategy use, flexibility]

Clinical Inferences

[Cautious, test-relevant inferences drawn from observed behaviors] (Link each inference to specific observations; avoid psychodynamic interpretation.)

Validity Statement: [Results are considered a valid estimate of current functioning. / Results likely underestimate abilities due to [specific factors]. / Results likely overestimate abilities due to [specific factors].] (State concrete factors affecting validity such as limited cooperation, language mismatch, fatigue, or nonstandard administration.)

Results

Score Summary Table

(Report scores using the instrument's published qualitative descriptors. Include confidence intervals when clinically relevant. If age equivalents are included, note that they are descriptive estimates that should not be used as the sole basis for eligibility or diagnostic decisions.)

Domain/Subdomain	Score Type	Score	Percentile	Qualitative Descriptor	Confidence Interval	Age Equivalent	Notes
[Domain or subdomain name]	[standard / scaled]	[Score]	[Percentile]	[Descriptor per manual]	[CI if reported]	[Age equivalent if reported]	[Administration or scoring notes]

Domain-by-Domain Narrative Interpretation

(Complete for each area tested. Write for two audiences: plain language for caregivers and technical detail for clinicians/schools.)

[Domain Name]

• What Was Measured: [Plain-language description of construct(s) assessed]
• Key Scores and Meaning: [Scores with interpretation relative to age norms]
• Qualitative Task Observations: [Behaviors, strategies, and errors that clarify the score] (Do not reproduce proprietary test items.)
• Strengths and Emerging Skills: [Observed strengths and developing abilities]
• Functional Implications: [What these results mean for participation at home and school]

Interpretation

[Overall synthesis across tests, observations, history, and informant report] (Describe the overall profile with relative strengths and weaknesses. Address whether scores align with caregiver concerns and observed functioning.)

• Overall Profile: [global delay / domain-specific delay / uneven profile / within normal limits] — [Summary of pattern and key takeaways]
• Contextual Modifiers: [Language exposure, cultural factors, sensory or motor considerations impacting performance]
• Limitations: [Constraints on conclusions such as nonstandard administration, limited cooperation, incomplete measures, normative sample considerations]

Diagnostic Impressions

(Include diagnoses only when within professional scope and supported by data. Test scores alone do not constitute a diagnosis; documented criteria and functional impairment are required.)

• Confirmed Diagnoses:
  • [Diagnosis] — [Rationale citing criteria and functional impact]
• Concerns Requiring Further Evaluation:
  • [Concern] — [Reason for concern and recommended next steps]
• Descriptive Impression: [Summary of developmental profile if no formal diagnosis rendered] (Include only if applicable.)

Recommendations

(Prioritize and link each recommendation to a specific finding. Specify who should do what and when.)

• Immediate Safety/Medical Follow-Up: [Action item, responsible party, timeframe] (Include only if applicable.)
• Referrals:
  • [Early Intervention / school evaluation (IFSP/IEP) — specify domains and purpose]
  • [Therapy evaluations: Speech-Language, OT, PT, Behavioral — specify goals]
  • [Specialist referrals: Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics, Neurology, Genetics, Audiology, Ophthalmology — specify reason]
• Home Strategies: [Communication supports, routines, play-based skill building with concrete steps]
• Educational Planning and Accommodations: [Classroom supports, environmental modifications, AAC, visual schedules] (Link each accommodation to the functional limitation.)
• Therapy Goals/Targets: [Measurable goal areas with suggested approaches]
• Follow-Up Testing: [Timeframe and purpose; measures to repeat or add]
• Developmental Surveillance: [Plan for routine monitoring] (Include if no concerns identified.)

Results Feedback

[With whom results were reviewed, key points shared, caregiver understanding and questions, plan for sharing with referral source] (If feedback has not yet occurred, document the plan and timeframe.)

• Total Time: [Total minutes]
• Components Included: [administration / scoring / interpretation / report writing / clinical decision-making]
• Date/Time Blocks:
  • [Date] — [Start time] to [Stop time] — [Task(s)]
• Other Same-Day Services: [Description and separation from testing time] (Include only if applicable.)
