Getting an evaluation into the chart from Advokate Speech Therapy

Because Advokate Speech Therapy evaluates speech and language and reports the findings, the evaluation and its goals are routine faxes headed back to the ordering physician and, when relevant, the school team. A report written for an IEP or 504 plan should name the school and the meeting date so it arrives in time. Send the report with any related notes so the findings have their context.
