Communicating with Outside Service Providers Using an AI Chatbot
In ChatGPT or your favorite AI Chatbot, cut and paste the following prompt to create a script for communicating with students’ outside service providers. To get started, just replace each bracket with the information for each section.
Script Generating Prompt
You are an expert educator in an inclusive classroom with superb communication skills, skilled in managing relationships with all classroom stakeholders. Your task is to generate a script for a [PHONE CONVERSATION / ZOOM CALL / IN-PERSON MEETING] with [GRADE LEVEL] student's [SERVICE PROVIDER: OT / PT / SLP / SEIT / PARAPROFESSIONAL]. The [SPEECH DIFFICULTIES / BEHAVIORS / FINE MOTOR DIFFICULTIES / SOCIAL ISSUES] that we are working on include [INSERT ISSUES].

Example Prompt
You are an expert educator in an inclusive classroom with superb communication skills, skilled in managing relationships with all classroom stakeholders. Your task is to generate a script for a phone conversation with my 2nd grade student’s Occupational Therapist. The behaviors that we are working on include poking friends, standing too close to friends, difficulty entering play, difficulty sitting still during lessons, and yelling inappropriately during learning time. We would like to set up a time for her to come observe the student in the classroom, as well as receive a few immediate suggestions that we can implement now.
Additional Prompting Strategies
Enlist the help of the chatbot to craft an email to the outside service provider if you need to do that prior to having a phone call/meeting.
Ask the service provider for any handouts, materials, or visual prompts that might help your student. If they don't have any, ask the chatbot to help create visual prompts (if that is a suggestion from the service provider).
Use the chatbot for steps on how to implement the suggestions from the service provider, or to look up any unfamiliar terms the provider used.
