Assignment Builder

Overview

Reflective’s Assignment Builder allows you to create custom worksheets, infosheets, or assessments that cater to your therapeutic approach and the needs of your patients. By combining static content (like text, images, videos, or files) with interactive fields (like dates, cognitive distortion selectors, mood scales, or multiple-choice options), you can build engaging assignments for patients to complete in their Workbook.

Note: Building Infosheets and Assessments requires Premium access. Please contact support for more information.
