Keeping your information up to date

2 min read

In a nutshell

Your child's information may change while you are preparing for assessment. Add relevant new information as it becomes available so your Assessment Package reflects the most current picture you can provide.

What might change?

During the assessment journey, you might receive:

  • a new school report
  • an updated specialist report
  • new teacher observations
  • important medical information
  • new information about support already in place

You may also remember examples or history that you did not include the first time.

Add information when it is relevant

Not every small change needs to be documented.

Focus on information that helps explain your child's history, current functioning or assessment journey.

Good to know

The goal is a useful, current picture of your child, not a minute-by-minute record of everything that happens.

Review your package before sharing

Before sharing your Assessment Package, check whether anything important has changed since you started preparing it.

Add relevant new reports and update editable sections where needed.

What if something changes after I share?

Tell your child's clinician about important new information.

Depending on where you are in the assessment process, they can decide whether the new information needs to be reviewed or added to their clinical record.

Threadline helps organise assessment preparation, but your ongoing communication with your child's clinician remains important.
