What Are DAP Notes?
DAP notes are a simple and widely used format for documenting therapy sessions. They consist of three main components: Data, Assessment, and Plan. This structured approach helps clinicians summarize the essential information from each session efficiently. However, the process of writing these notes can often feel cumbersome, particularly when it comes to ensuring compliance and maintaining a professional tone.
