Generated SIMPLE Note:

Quill generated this note with AI from the summary that was provided. The therapist can then copy-and-paste the note into their current EHR platform.

During a 60-minute virtual session, the client presented looking tired and reported struggling significantly with their son's learning disability. The client expressed feelings of helplessness, stating 'It’s just so hard to see him struggle, and I feel helpless.' They discussed their son's challenges in school and the impact on his confidence, as well as concurrent financial worries complicating the ability to secure additional help for their son. The session focused on strategies for advocating for the son's educational needs, including the potential for an Individualized Education Program (IEP) and exploring available school resources. The therapist suggested the client reach out to the school for free resources and encouraged the client to support their son's efforts at home. Financial assistance options and sliding scale programs for tutoring were also discussed. The client was assigned homework to initiate contact with the school to seek further support for their son. By the conclusion of the session, the client appeared more hopeful. The next session is scheduled in two weeks to follow up on the client's progress and the steps taken.

Client Session Summary:

Here's the summary of this client session. Remember, Quill does not record the client session. A therapist would provide a summary (like the one below) after the session is over.

We had a 60-minute virtual session today. Client logged in looking pretty tired, said they’ve been struggling a lot lately with their son’s learning disability. They said quote 'It’s just so hard to see him struggle, and I feel helpless' unquote. They talked about how their son’s been having a really tough time in school, and it’s been affecting his confidence. On top of that, the client mentioned they’re also dealing with financial worries, which has made it harder to get their son the extra help he needs.

We spent some time talking about how they can advocate for their son at school, maybe look into getting him an IEP or other support services. I suggested reaching out to the school to see what free resources might be available, and we talked about how they can encourage their son at home, reminding him that struggling doesn’t mean failure. We also touched on the financial stress, and I suggested looking into local programs that offer financial assistance or sliding scale options for tutoring. Their homework is to call the school and start the process of getting more support for their son. They seemed a little more hopeful by the end. We’ll meet again in two weeks to see how things are going.
