Built for narrative language — not adapted to fit it.
A clinical caseload tool built around the Narrative Scoring Scheme (NSS), with automated CUPS scoring, drafted session notes, and scaffold fading tracked at the item level. Permanent free access for your first 3 active students, and always free for your client families.

The Narrative Scoring Scheme, on every session.
Introduction, Character Development, Mental States, Referencing, Conflict/Problem, Resolution, and Conclusion/Cohesion — scored with your clinical review on every dimension, every story.
- • Automated CUPS & NSS scoring: WriteStories performs a rapid first-pass score across CUPS (capitalization, usage, punctuation, spelling) and all 7 NSS dimensions.
- • Drafted clinical session notes: The platform automatically drafts progress note language from the student's actual session output, saving hours of manual documentation.
- • Clinician stays in total control: Every auto-suggested score and drafted sentence is a suggestion. You review, edit, or overwrite anything before it enters your documentation.
- • Item-level scaffold tracking: Sentence starters marked as Used, Modified, or Deleted; word bank clicks vs. inserts recorded objectively.
- • Four systematic scaffold tiers: Scale from maximum visual and linguistic support down to Assessment Mode with zero supports.
Five views, one cohesive platform.
Everything a documentation-heavy caseload needs, built into a single, intuitive workspace.
Caseload Overview
One centralized row per student — track longitudinal NSS trends, current support tier, and family portal activity at a glance. You determine tier-advancement readiness, not an algorithm.
Student Detail View
The complete longitudinal picture for each learner — NSS progress charts, scaffold-fading effectiveness grids, and comprehensive session note history in one place.
Clinical Scoring & Review Interface
Student story text on one side, interactive scoring rubric and note draft on the other. Accept suggested scores with one tap, or overwrite them — every clinical decision is logged.
Illustrated Wordless Library
A growing library of illustrated, wordless books filterable by therapy target, causal complexity, and phoneme density. Assign books to student accounts in one click.
Clinical Goal Templates
Pre-configured setups for 8 distinct therapy areas — scaffold tier, custom word banks, thought questions, and tracking parameters all established in a single selection.
Configured in minutes, not a planning period.
Selecting a Goal Template instantly pre-configures tiers, vocabulary banks, guiding thought questions, and metric tracking for specific clinical targets:
Narrative language
Our primary NSS-driven framework targeting macrostructure and story grammar.
Articulation
Target-sound production and phoneme-loaded contexts carried over into connected writing.
Vocabulary
Depth tracking from receptive recognition to spontaneous, contextual use.
Social pragmatics
Theory of Mind, perspective-taking, and character emotional attribution.
Language sampling
Standardized, elicitated baselines in unassisted Assessment Mode.
Fluency
Structured oral-to-written narrative sequencing reducing linguistic formulation demand.
Receptive language
Comprehension evidence and inferencing derived from story-grammar interpretation.
Bilingual / ELL
Visual-first, language-agnostic elicitation supporting dual-language conceptual expression.
Scaffold fading backed by literature, not guesswork.
Ukrainetz et al. (2005) established the clinical necessity of systematic scaffold fading in narrative intervention. WriteStories operationalizes this research at the item level — objectively tracking whether sentence starters and vocabulary banks were utilized verbatim, modified, or omitted entirely. Fading in your progress notes becomes concrete data rather than subjective impressions.
