Mosaic Report Writing
Transform Your Evaluation Reports with Mosaic Report Writing
Just as artists create mosaics by piecing together stone, tile, or glass, special education evaluators must synthesize information from various sources to form a comprehensive picture of a student's performance and needs.
While the importance of integration and synthesis in psychoeducational evaluation reports is widely recognized, the methodology has been lacking—until now. Mosaic Report Writing offers a fresh, collaborative approach that combines traditional methods with innovative processes. This technique focuses on crafting more insightful, actionable, and accessible reports in less time.

Who developed Mosaic Report Writing?
I'm Jamie Bennett, a school psychologist with nearly 20 years of experience. While I believe report writing is crucial, it's just one way we support students. Mosaic Report Writing simplifies the process while maintaining its importance, allowing us to:
- Deliver impactful findings that shape students' futures
- Reduce the risk of burnout
- Use saved time to contribute in other meaningful ways
My colleagues, which include teacher consultants, school social workers, and speech pathologists now use this method, and we can't imagine returning to traditional approaches that involve working in silos, layering dense information, and expecting readers to make sense of it all. Join me in saving hours on every report while interacting with engaged parents and teachers at an entirely different level.
