Description of Platform:  easyReportPRO is a robust platform that helps Speech-Language Pathologists write comprehensive and error-free diagnostic reports. The platform gives therapists the tools to deliver professional and valuable reports. With auto-outline, auto-populate, auto-match features embedded in every one of the 700+ evaluation resources, therapists can quickly use ready-to-go reports or build their own personalized templates. These features enable clinicians to organize the content of report sections instantly, ensure accuracy of information (i.e., consistent demographics and standard scores that automatically match descriptive text, tables, and charts), and create a professional reporting style. Most importantly, easyReportPRO’s powerful tools and features generate an error-free report draft in minutes. As a result, SLPs can spend their time adding expert details, writing the diagnostic impressions, and identifying the strategies, recommendations, and accommodations that support the student, client, and team members!
