one step at a time, with the rail
Drawn for this page. Stairs, curbs and the floor are the leg tasks a school day asks for most, so they are what the log tracks.

How to use it

  1. Watch the tasks where they really happen: the classroom chair, the school stairs, the bus step.
  2. Use the same task wording each session so the comparison holds.
  3. Pick the level of help for today, then the level from your last note.
  4. Ask the staff about falls or near falls since your last visit.
  5. Copy the record to a new date for the next session.

What the log covers

The levels of help

Independent and supervision or cues need no hands-on help. Minimal assist means the student does about three quarters of the work or more, moderate about half to three quarters, maximal a quarter to half, and dependent less than that. Using the same scale each time is what makes the change readable.

In the school day

School physical therapy under IDEA is a related service: it supports the student’s access to their education, so the tasks that matter are the ones the school day asks for.

What it is not

The log is a record of observed function. It is not a standardized measure of gross motor development, and a single session is not a trend.
