The Taylor Medication Effectiveness Report
For students that have been identified as needing medication to support learning at school monitoring the effectiveness and side effects can be challenging. It is important that the school is equipped to give adequate feedback to physicians to make informed decisions for the medications they prescribe.
I am currently having good success with, The Taylor School Medication Effectiveness Report. It allows a report card like a grading system for the positive outcomes of medication as well as the negative side effects that the student might be experiencing.
