Clinical Patterns
Your clinical orientation shapes how you should prompt an LLM. These patterns map orientations (naturalistic, discrete trial, family-centered) to specific LLM interaction strategies. For the mechanics of prompt structure itself, start with Anatomy of a Clinical Prompt in Foundations.
Your clinical orientation isn't just a preference — it shapes what you notice, measure, and consider progress. If the output doesn't match your orientation, that's clinical information worth paying attention to.
Family-Centered Prompting
How to structure LLM interactions when your clinical philosophy prioritizes family involvement, coaching, and naturalistic contexts.
Discrete Trial Documentation Pattern
How to prompt LLMs when your clinical approach uses structured, data-driven discrete trial methods, maximizing precision in goals, data recording, and progress analysis.
Neurodiversity-Affirming Pattern
How to prompt LLMs to use neurodiversity-affirming language that describes communication differences rather than deficits.
Medical Model Precision Pattern
How to prompt LLMs for maximum clinical precision in medical documentation: instrumental reports, diagnostic statements, and acute care notes.
Bilingual & Culturally Responsive Pattern
How to prompt LLMs to avoid monolingual-normed assumptions and produce culturally responsive documentation for bilingual clients.
Motivational Interviewing Style Pattern
How to prompt LLMs for documentation and communication that centers client autonomy, stated priorities, and collaborative goal-setting.
