Steps to Build Your Evaluation Templates
1. Set up a document. Type the main categories in your evaluation report (e.g., reason for referral, medical history, etc.)
2. Go through a completed evaluation. Copy and paste the sections into your template document.
3. Replace student names/pronouns with symbols (e.g., *** for student name, ** for possessive pronouns, * for subject pronouns).
