Adaptive Behaviour Assessment System - 3rd Edition

Audience

This workshop is designed for allied health professionals who write reports that inform funding, service delivery, and review processes under the NDIS. It is relevant for Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Speech Pathologists, Psychologists, Social Workers, and other clinicians who want to improve the clarity, accuracy, and impact of their written documentation.

Course Description

Effective report writing is a core professional skill that shapes funding outcomes, service provision, and client advocacy. This workshop provides a clear framework for writing reports that communicate purpose, demonstrate clinical reasoning, and meet NDIS expectations.

Participants will learn to produce structured, evidence-based, and outcome-focused reports. The session covers key principles of effective communication—clarity of purpose, meaningful language, logical flow, robust evidence, and linking recommendations to observed functional outcomes. Case examples and templates illustrate how to apply these principles across disciplines and report types, enabling clinicians to write with precision and confidence.

By the end of this training, participants will have a structured process for preparing reports that are concise, defensible, and aligned with best practice in allied health documentation.
