Recommended agent uses

3 workflows you could delegate to AI

1

Prepare school progress updates and supports

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to collect therapy notes, teacher input, attendance, and recent goals into a short school progress update for an IEP or team meeting. It can draft a plain-language summary of what the child is doing in class and what support is being used, so you can spend your time reviewing whether the wording matches your clinical view.

Where you stay involved

You decide what the progress note should say, adjust any recommendations, and make sure the final message reflects what you believe the student needs.

Review level: Medium

2

Build referral packets for next providers

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to assemble referral paperwork, assessment results, discharge notes, and contact details for the next service provider. It can draft a referral summary that explains why another medical or educational service is being considered and keep the handoff documents in one place for your review.

Where you stay involved

You decide whether the referral is appropriate, confirm consent and other requirements, and send the records through the proper channel.

Review level: Medium

3

Draft guidance for caregivers on communication techniques

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to turn your therapy goals and home-practice tips into a caregiver handout or coaching outline. It can help you prepare examples, organize practice steps, and write a follow-up note about what the family understood, so you can focus on teaching and listening to their questions.

Where you stay involved

You demonstrate the technique, watch the caregiver try it, correct mistakes, and decide whether more practice or a different approach is needed.

Review level: Medium

O*NET 31.0 · methodology 3.3.0. Every workflow passes an action-level physical-execution and protected human-and-veterinary clinical-action gate. Documentation workflows must own a complete digital loop and use digital task evidence only; support-only workflows are disclosed separately and excluded from scoring. Artistic, editorial, normative, and policy-dependent work receives a transparent human-judgment constraint. National ranking within 923 scored O*NET occupations under methodology 3.3.0.
