Can BastionGPT write psychological evaluation reports and interpret assessment scores?

Yes. BastionGPT interprets assessment scores and drafts psychological evaluation reports in your own style, inside a HIPAA-compliant workspace.

Yes. Writing psychological evaluation reports is one of the most common uses of BastionGPT, and interpreting assessment scores is at the heart of that work. Mental health professionals make up about half of our customers, and many chose BastionGPT as HIPAA-compliant AI for psychological report writing: upload your score reports, background records, and observations, and get a draft that follows your template and sounds like you. You stay the clinician throughout: you review every interpretation, verify every score, and approve the final report.

How does BastionGPT interpret assessment scores?

Give BastionGPT the same materials you would gather to write the report yourself:

  1. Attach your source documents. Score reports from the instruments you administered (three to six is typical), prior evaluations, intake or domain paperwork, IEP summaries, outside reports, progress monitoring data, and report cards. Scanned, faxed, photographed, and handwritten documents are all readable. See What types of documents are supported? for formats and size limits.

  2. Add your clinical input. Interview notes, behavioral observations, and the specific examples you want the reader to see, such as a student's characteristic reading errors.

  3. Attach your report template and ask for what you need. Some psychologists synthesize only the background section; others generate the full report a few sections at a time in a single conversation.

BastionGPT reads everything you attach, works out what is relevant, and drafts within your structure. It also weights a report the way a well-trained clinician would: if most of your data points to anxiety and a small portion to sleep concerns, the draft reflects that emphasis instead of giving every topic equal space. If a draft is close but not quite right, just tell BastionGPT what to change.

Why doesn't BastionGPT advertise a library of assessment instruments?

Some report-writing tools market lists of the specific instruments they support. We take a different approach out of respect for intellectual property: the test materials, scoring tables, and interpretive reports behind commercial instruments are the publishers' copyrighted work. We do not train our AI on proprietary assessment data, and we are deliberately careful about claiming familiarity with specific instruments.

High-quality reports do not depend on that data. BastionGPT's performance comes from a deep understanding of how strong psychological reports are structured and what sound interpretation looks like, combined with the scores, template, and clinical judgment you bring to each evaluation. Psychologists who compare tools side by side tell us BastionGPT produces the strongest reports, and we encourage you to run that comparison yourself during a free trial. You can also read how a practice that tested six AI platforms chose BastionGPT.

How do I get reports that sound like I wrote them?

Out of the box, the AI averages every report style it has seen. A few one-time steps tailor it to your structure, voice, and emphasis:

  • Attach your template plus one or two writing samples. A sample of your ideal background section teaches the AI what a template cannot: narrative or bullets, how much raw score detail to include, how you open a section.

  • Save them as a saved prompt. Every chat starts fresh by design, so attach your template, samples, and standing instructions to a saved prompt, and each new evaluation begins with your style loaded. Can BastionGPT remember information across chats? explains why, and covers more continuity techniques.

  • Refine as you go. When you give the same correction twice, make it a standing instruction, for example: "Where you have solid examples, quote one."

  • Get free one-on-one help. Our prompt engineers offer free 30-minute sessions to set up your templates and instructions with you, and one or two sessions is usually all it takes.

Does BastionGPT work for school psychologists?

Yes. Many of our customers conduct special education testing and write psychoeducational evaluations for school districts, so IEP summaries, domain paperwork, and progress monitoring data are everyday inputs. Student records can fall under FERPA as well as HIPAA, so BastionGPT is designed for both at once and treats everything you enter as potentially regulated data. See Is BastionGPT FERPA compliant? for details. For a closer look at this work in practice, read how school psychologists use AI.

Which plan is right for psychological evaluations?

Psych evals are multi-document work: several background PDFs plus a stack of score reports is a normal load. Professional Plus and above support the full document capacity, making them the best fit for most report writers. Professional Plus also adds manual model selection if you prefer a particular AI model for certain drafting tasks.
