Reason for Referral

[Who requested the evaluation and why]

• [Referral question 1] (Use verbatim language when provided in writing.)
• [Referral question 2]
• [Additional referral questions as applicable]

(If referral questions were not explicitly stated, note they were inferred from available information and clinical interview.)

Consent and Evaluation Context

[Informed consent obtained from: patient / parent-guardian / legal representative] on [date]. [Limits of confidentiality discussed and intended use of the report]. [Releases obtained for collateral contacts and/or records].

(If telehealth was used, note platform, identity verification method, and any administration adaptations.)

Sources of Information

• [Clinical interview date(s) and participants]
• [Records reviewed with source and date ranges]
• [Collateral contacts with roles, dates, and method of contact]
• [Measures administered: high-level list] (Detailed battery provided below.)

(If no collateral information or outside records were available, state this explicitly.)

Background Information

(Include only information that affects interpretation, diagnosis, risk assessment, or recommendations. Use specific dates and timelines. Omit domains not clinically relevant to the referral questions. Note when missing data limits interpretation. Include strengths and protective factors where relevant.)

Presenting Concerns and Symptom Course

[Presenting concerns, onset, duration, course, precipitating factors, and functional impact]

Prior Behavioral Health History

[Prior diagnoses, treatments, response to treatment, hospitalizations, prior testing with dates]

Medical and Neurological History

[Relevant conditions, injuries, medications, sleep, sensory or motor issues impacting testing]

Developmental History

[Early milestones, delays, early interventions] (Include only if relevant to referral questions.)

Educational History

[Academic performance, special education services, accommodations, standardized testing history]

Occupational History

[Employment status, roles, performance concerns, workplace supports]

Family Psychiatric History

[Relevant family history and heritable risk factors]

Social History

[Living situation, relationships, supports, stressors, legal history if relevant]

Substance Use

[Type, frequency, duration, last use, treatment history, periods of abstinence]

Cultural and Linguistic Factors

[Primary language(s), interpreter use, cultural factors relevant to testing or interpretation]

(Omit any subsections above that are not clinically relevant; do not include placeholder text for unavailable information.)

Behavioral Observations

(Describe observations factually without interpretation.)

• General appearance and behavior: [Appearance, grooming, motor activity, cooperation]
• Engagement and rapport: [Level of engagement, effort, responsiveness to coaching]
• Speech and language: [Rate, volume, articulation, fluency, comprehension]
• Mood and affect: [Observed mood, affect range, reactivity, congruence]
• Thought process and content: [Coherence, organization, perceptual disturbances if observed]
• Orientation and attention: [Orientation, attention, concentration during tasks]
• Insight and judgment: [Observed decision-making and awareness during sessions]
• Risk indicators: [Any statements or behaviors suggestive of risk and actions taken] (Omit if none observed.)

Test-taking behavior: [Approach to tasks, persistence, pace, frustration tolerance, impulsivity, response to feedback, requests for breaks or clarification]

Assessment Procedures

(Provide brief rationale explaining how the battery addresses the referral questions. If measures overlap with recent testing, acknowledge potential practice effects.)

• [Measure 1: full name, edition/form; administration mode; language; accommodations; date(s)]
• [Measure 2: full name, edition/form; administration mode; language; accommodations; date(s)]
• [Additional measures as applicable]

[Rationale for battery selection]

Validity and Interpretive Considerations

• Behavioral indicators of effort: [Observed behaviors relevant to effort and engagement]
• Objective validity indicators: [Embedded scales or standalone validity tests and outcomes]
• Response style patterns: [Inconsistency, over-/under-reporting, symptom exaggeration or minimization]
• Situational factors: [Fatigue, pain, medication effects, environmental distractions, language or cultural considerations]

(If telehealth was used, describe additional limitations or monitoring adaptations here.)

Overall validity conclusion: [Results are valid and interpretable / Results are interpretable with cautions: (specify) / Results are not interpretable: (specify reasons and which limited conclusions remain possible)]

Results

(Organize findings by domain. Report standardized metrics and link quantitative results to functional meaning. Integrate convergent evidence across history, observations, and test data. Do not reproduce restricted test items. Include sufficient quantitative anchors in narrative; full score tables may be placed in appendix.)

Symptom and Personality Measures

[Measure/Scale]: [Score metric and value, percentile] — [Interpretive summary and functional implications]

[Additional measures with scores and interpretations]

Cognitive and Attention Functioning

Academic Achievement

[Reading, writing, math composites and key subtests with metrics] — [Interpretation relative to expectations]
