What kids do
“Log every call, note, email and meeting with the family.”
Printed on the sheet:
- Family contact and best way to reach them:
- What we talked about
Teacher tip
Log the good-news calls too. A record that shows mostly positive contact makes the hard conversations easier for everyone.
How to use it
- Keep it on a clipboard where the work happens so it takes seconds to fill in.
- Record right away. Notes written at the end of the day lose detail.
- Share a copy with families and therapists so home, school and therapy match.
Watch for
