Patient Intake for Speech Therapy Practices

Specialized intake for speech-language pathology clinics

Speech-language pathology practices serve a remarkably diverse patient population—from toddlers with speech delays to adults recovering from stroke or managing dysphagia. Formisoft's digital intake forms capture the specialty-specific detail that SLPs need, including communication development history, swallowing concerns, voice and fluency profiles, prior therapy history, and educational or occupational impact. Parents of pediatric patients and adult patients alike complete thorough assessments from home, giving clinicians a comprehensive picture before the first session.

Patient Intake for Speech Therapy Practices

For pediatric speech therapy, Formisoft's intake forms collect developmental milestone timelines, birth and medical history, feeding history, educational accommodations (IEPs and 504 plans), and family communication patterns. For adult patients, the focus shifts to medical history including stroke, traumatic brain injury, progressive neurological conditions, head and neck cancer treatment, and other etiologies. This flexibility allows practices that serve both populations to maintain specialty-appropriate intake workflows.

Formisoft connects with your documentation system through webhooks, API, and third-party integration platforms. Whether you run a private speech therapy practice, a hospital outpatient rehab program, or a pediatric therapy group, Formisoft eliminates the paperwork bottleneck and lets your clinicians focus on what they do best—helping patients communicate.
