The Assessment Reports are compatible with MS Word 10. This is a list of assessment report templates that can downloaded by the user. There is no communication between SIRAS and these templates; it is merely a page to download assessment report templates. Also users can download sample language, i.e. descriptions of various assessments; and examples of assessment reports.
The idea is that the user would:
- Download the template to their computer;
- Modify the template by adding specific information (i.e. school name, your name);
- Copy & paste from sample language documents into the report where appropriate;
- When ready to develop a report for a student, make a copy of the assessment report template and rename the file "John Dow Psych Report" or something like that;
- After the assessment report is complete, upload the assessment report to the student’s SIRAS record. This is located under Student Info / Student Profile / Document File. Refer to the "Document File" help for more information on how to upload documents to the student record.
When writing a report for a student, you will be putting information into specific fields in the template. You must toggle between the fields using the "up" and "down" arrow buttons on your computer keyboard. The arrow button will take you directly to the fields which you are to address, and will skip all other areas, which are legally required and may not be changed. If any non-required fields are not applicable for a student, they may be deleted by using the spacebar on your keyboard.
Some fields have optional headers that can be deleted if not applicable for the specific child. If a field has a header that can be deleted but you want to keep the header, use your right arrow to start typing, to avoid losing the header. If you delete certain fields, there may be spaces in your report. If you make a mistake, you can always use the "undo" backward arrow at the top of your page. For the "drop down" fields, click with your mouse and select an option. You may "copy and paste" tables or text into any field that is blue. Once copied into the report you will lose spell check so check before pasting.
