Writing NDIS support letters just got a lot less painful

Speech therapists working with NDIS participants write a lot of letters. Support letters for plan reviews, reports for planning meetings, justifications for funding requests. These documents are important. They directly affect what funding and support a person receives. They need to be comprehensive, use the right language, and be structured correctly. They're also extremely time-consuming to write from scratch each time. I developed a set of templates for the different document types I produce most often. Not the content โ€” the structure and the language framework. Then I use Claude to help me fill in the specific details for each participant. I give it the participant's profile, their therapy goals, their progress, and what I'm requesting. It drafts the document in the appropriate language and structure. I then review every word carefully and make significant edits โ€” I know the participant, the AI doesn't. The drafts are good starting points. Good enough that I'm producing twice as many of these documents without working extra hours. The families notice too โ€” faster turnaround on reports means faster plan reviews means faster access to support.

โฑ Time saved: 1.5 hours per report
โœฆ WORKFLOW STEPS
1Build a participant profile template that captures all NDIS-relevant information
2Use this to generate the draft with appropriate language
3Review every clinical claim carefully โ€” you know the participant, AI doesn't
4Add specific examples and observations that only you would have
5Have a colleague review if it's a complex or high-stakes document
๐Ÿ“‹ THE PROMPT
Help me write an NDIS support letter requesting [type of support] for a participant with the following profile: [age, diagnosis, functional impacts]. Current therapy goals: [list]. Recent progress: [summary]. What I am requesting and why: [explanation]. Use NDIS-appropriate language and structure.
