From the child's session to approved note

Note Dr listens to the session as it happens. While you observe the child at play, run your assessment, reason aloud and agree goals with the parent, it writes the record in the background, so your hands stay with the child and your attention stays in the room, not on the keyboard.

Built for scrutiny

The child and the
family, on record

  • Parental responsibility and consent recorded

    Who attended, that they hold parental responsibility and the consent they gave for hands-on assessment, captured as you work, not reconstructed later.

  • Occupational reasoning on record

    The sensory and motor findings, the impact on the child's occupations and the reasoning behind your working picture, captured as you think it through aloud.

  • Client-centred goals and outcomes captured

    The goals you agreed with the child and family and the validated measure you took, such as the COPM, the very elements OT audits show go missing most.

As thorough as your play assessment

A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, the occupational profile, your reasoning, client-centred goals, consent and outcomes, where published standards and audits show conventional occupational therapy records routinely fall short.

  • Attention on the patient
  • Time back in your day

Standards and audits referenced: the HCPC standards of proficiency and the RCOT professional standards and Keeping records guidance, with a documentation audit of 320 records (Gibson et al, British Journal of Occupational Therapy, 2004).

A note for
every child's session

    Patient memory

    Last visit's progress,
    before the family arrives

    Ask what you assessed last time, the goals you agreed with the family, or what the parent consented to, answered in seconds from the child's own record.

    Walk into the review already knowing the story, without trawling the notes.

    Ask Note Dr, Cormac Quayle
    What goals did we set for Cormac, and what did his father consent to?
    NNote Drfrom this patient's record
    At the assessment on 9 June, you identified developmental coordination difficulty with a sensory-processing component affecting handwriting and lunch-hall participation. You agreed client-centred goals for legible writing and managing the lunch hall, scored a baseline COPM, and his father consented to hands-on assessment, with parental responsibility confirmed.

    The standard,
    at the table

    When a child's presentation calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the published guidance paediatric occupational therapists work to, from the HCPC and RCOT record-keeping standards to COPM outcome guidance and NICE advice on autism and developmental coordination, with the source shown. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with you.

    Why paediatric occupational therapists trust Note Dr with a record that stands up to scrutiny.

    ★★★★★

    My reasoning is finally on record

    Niamh C, paediatric occupational therapist

    I always reasoned out loud through a sensory and motor assessment, but half of it never made the note. Now the Sensory Profile findings, the impact on the child's occupations and why I set the plan I did is right there. I edit and approve in under a minute.

    ★★★★★

    Client-centred goals, never skipped

    Oskar L, advanced practice occupational therapist

    The child's views and the COPM goals were always first to slip when clinic ran late. Note Dr captures the goal the family and I agree and the baseline scores every time, so my notes finally show what the child set out to achieve.

    ★★★★★

    The child gets my full attention

    Priya S, community paediatric occupational therapist

    Observing a six-year-old at play and typing never worked. Now I assess, I reason aloud, I talk to the parent, and the record writes itself in the background. The child and the family get a clinician, not someone half-watching a screen.

    ★★★★★

    School and EHCP reports, sorted

    Bethan C, specialist paediatric occupational therapist

    My functional picture, the strategies and the outcomes the school needs are drafted from the session itself. The EHCP advice reads consistently every time, and consent to share is recorded right there in the note.

    ★★★★★

    Safeguarding-aware notes, by default

    Conor W, clinical lead paediatric occupational therapist

    Factual, contemporaneous records across the whole team, with the child's views, consent and outcomes on every episode, and non-attendance logged. Our last HCPC and RCOT standards audit was the smoothest we've run, the notes already told the whole story.

    ★★★★★

    Across a full children's caseload, assessments, intervention and school reports, every record now reads to the same standard, with the occupational profile, the client-centred goals and the COPM scores that used to vanish when I was busy. My notes finally match the work I actually do.

    Paediatric OT FAQs

    Is there an AI scribe built for paediatric occupational therapists?

    Note Dr is an ambient AI scribe designed around paediatric occupational therapy, not a general medical tool. It drafts the occupational profile, sensory and fine-motor assessment, client-centred goals and school or EHCP advice from your session, structured to HCPC and RCOT record-keeping standards. Transcription runs on your device; you review and approve every note before saving.

    Is it safe to use an AI scribe with children's clinical information?

    Transcription happens on your device, not in the cloud, and Note Dr drafts the note for you to review and approve before anything is saved, so you stay in control of a child's record. It captures who attended, that they hold parental responsibility, and the consent or assent given, so the basis for consent is always clear. Any safeguarding judgement stays entirely with you.

    How do I document a paediatric developmental and sensory assessment in OT?

    As you call out the occupational profile, fine-motor and bilateral findings and sensory responses from tools like the Movement ABC and Sensory Profile, Note Dr records your assessment and the reasoning behind your working picture. It is captured contemporaneously and structured the way you write paediatric OT notes, ready for you to review and approve.

    How do I record parental responsibility, consent and a child's assent?

    Note Dr captures who attended, that they hold parental responsibility and the consent they gave for hands-on assessment, as you work. The child's assent, and any Gillick-competence discussion for an older child, is documented too, so the basis for consent is always clear in the contemporaneous record. You review every note.

    Can Note Dr draft school reports and EHCP advice from the session?

    Yes. Note Dr can draft the functional picture, recommended strategies and outcomes a school or EHCP needs assessment relies on, in your service layout. Consent to share the report with the school and local authority is recorded in the note. You review and approve every report before it leaves you.

    Does it capture client-centred goal-setting and outcome measures like the COPM?

    Yes. As you agree the child's and family's priorities and score a measure such as the COPM or Goal Attainment Scaling, Note Dr records the goals and baseline in your structured note, ready to repeat at review. After a lively child session, it is the family's own goal wording and their COPM ratings that fade first, while the motor and sensory findings stick. You review before saving.

    Does Note Dr support safeguarding-aware record-keeping for children?

    Note Dr writes a clear, factual, contemporaneous account of what was seen, said and done, including the child's own words, non-attendance and any injury history, the kind of objective record safeguarding decisions rely on. You review every note, and any safeguarding judgement or referral stays entirely with you.

    Records that grow with the child

    Complete, audit-ready records for every child on your list, assessments, intervention and school reports, reviewed and approved by you. Occupational profile, client-centred goals, parental consent and outcomes, finally handled.
