ReportDecoder is a clinician-authored library that explains psychoeducational assessment results in plain language. It is built to sit beside the report you deliver, not to interpret it for you. When a family leaves with pages of scores and clinical terms, this is where they can go to understand what those results mean and what to ask at their next meeting or appointment.
A handout you can give families
A one-page referral handout, made to hand to a parent or an adult at report delivery. It points them to the free sections of the site and sets a clear expectation: ReportDecoder explains an existing report, it does not replace your assessment or your recommendations.
Download the referral handout
A print-ready PDF, US Letter, one page. Print copies for your office, or email it to families after a session.
How clinicians use it
- Include it in the folder or packet that goes home with the report.
- Point families to the free sections first, so they can begin reading right away.
- Reassure families that the explanations are written by a clinician who administers these tests, organized the way their report is.
What families will find
Three free sections orient any reader, with fuller guides available by pass. You can preview them before you refer:
- Understanding assessment scores. Covers what standard scores, percentiles, and index scores mean.
- Understanding a diagnosis. Covers what a diagnosis does and does not say, and how one is reached.
- What’s next. Covers school support, accommodations, and services families ask about after an assessment.
More resources on the way
This page will grow into a fuller set of clinician resources over time. If there is something that would help you refer families more easily, or explain a result more clearly, tell us and it goes on the list.
