Write down how the session went, while it is going.

Log each measure with start and end times, count breaks and redirections as they happen, and note conditions like a missing hearing aid or a late afternoon. The summary gives the testing time and the cautions your report should carry.

times, counts and what you saw
Drawn for this page. Start and end times, a few counts and plain notes tell the team how much weight the scores can bear.

How to use it

  1. Start a record with the student’s initials or a code and the date.
  2. Note the room, time of day, aids and testing language.
  3. Add each measure as you give it, with start and end times.
  4. Tap the counters as breaks, redirections and repeats happen.
  5. Mark whether results likely reflect the student’s skills, and say why.

What the log is for

Why behavior notes matter

A score is only as good as the conditions it was earned in. Fatigue, a hearing aid left at home, a noisy room or changed directions can all lower performance. Recording them at the time lets the report say how much confidence the results deserve.

Changed directions

When a measure is given in a non-standard way, such as repeating items or translating directions, its norms no longer apply as written. Say what changed, and describe the result instead of comparing it with the norms as if nothing changed.

What this log is not

It does not score any measure or interpret results. It records what happened in the room so the team can weigh the scores properly.
