Customer Reviews

THE BOOK to have if your work with children!

I LOVE these treatment planners and progress note writers. Especially since I often write notes for Medical or insurance who require a more behavioral focused report. I have no problem with reimbursements now and it gives you so many examples that you never run out of the right vocabulary. It's very professional and a must for a new or training clinician or anyone who wants to ensure payment for services.

Great!

This is a great book to use when you are struggling for wording. It's like it knows exactly what you did with a client in session and it knows how to say it!

A useful tool

As a recent MSW graduate, I found this useful as a framework for how to write progress notes. You have their notes which are pretty clear, and with time and practice you get the hang of it and you become more independent of the planner. Its also useful in providing treatment ideas to use with clients.
