In preparation for a wellness appointment, which document is the SLP most likely to provide the pediatrician regarding a student?

The choice to provide a summary outlining the student's progress toward annual learning goals is particularly relevant in the context of a wellness appointment. This type of document offers a comprehensive overview of the student's development and achievements, specifically related to their speech and language therapy objectives. It effectively communicates the student's current status to the pediatrician, allowing for a more holistic understanding of the child's overall development and effectiveness of the interventions being employed.

Such a summary is aligned with the focus of wellness appointments, which often include considerations of both physical and developmental health. By detailing the progress made on specific goals, it provides the pediatrician with concrete information on how the child is responding to therapy, which can then be integrated with other aspects of the child's health and wellness.

While the other options may also contain valuable information regarding the child’s development, they do not directly address the key progress indicators typically of interest in a wellness context. For instance, comparing a student’s progress to that of peers might be less applicable in a wellness visit, which often focuses on individual needs rather than group comparisons. Similarly, transcripts of evaluations or reports on social interactions can be relevant but may not provide the targeted insight into therapeutic progress that the SLP’s summary does.
