Who Writes the Interpretive Summary?

The best person to write the Interpretive Summary is:

• The clinical supervisor of the rehabilitation services, and.
• At minimum must be a Mental Health Practitioner under the clinical supervision of a Mental Health Professional.
  

The Interpretive Summary must:

• Be written AFTER the Diagnostic Assessment, Functional Assessment and Level of Care are completed.
• Should synthesize all information and make it useful.

If more assessments are conducted, the Interpretive Summary should reflect this additional information.
