Lesson Plan
Pre-Intake Reflection Plan
Parents will reflect on their child’s developmental history, family dynamics, and current concerns via a guided worksheet, learn key intake components through a slide presentation, and practice summarizing this information in a biopsychosocial snapshot.
Thorough pre-intake reflection empowers parents to provide clinicians with comprehensive, accurate information. This improves assessment efficiency, tailors interventions to family needs, and fosters collaborative care planning.
