How LocalScribe Helps SLP and OT
For SLP and OT, the value is simple: start with a Speech-Language Pathology or Occupational Therapy starter pack, or save your own terms and templates, so the draft already sounds like the right discipline.
Speech-Language Pathology and Occupational Therapy Documentation
Feature focus
Terminology and shorthand libraries
Start with a Speech-Language Pathology or Occupational Therapy starter pack, then make it your own. Save the abbreviations, cueing language, and specialty phrasing you use every day so your notes sound right.
Saved context examples
- 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
Feature focus
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.
Saved context examples
- 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
Feature focus
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.

Language, Templates & Workflow
Template setup
You set the template structure. LocalScribe drafts to it.
Templates can define both the headers and the exact instructions you want the AI model to follow inside each 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.
Workflow fit
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.
Example SLP / OT Session Template
Custom templates combine your preferred section structure with the writing guidance you want used under each header.
1
You name the section
Example: Goals Addressed
2
You write the instruction
AI instruction: Name the speech, language, sensory, motor, or ADL goals targeted during the session and keep the wording concise.
3
LocalScribe drafts that part
The output below follows those saved instructions.
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.
