ten times, a little easier each week
Drawn for this page. Motor skills grow with practice that is counted, repeated and handed back to the student a little at a time.

How to use it

  1. Enter the movements and repetitions from the therapist’s written plan.
  2. Add a row for each set: date, movement, reps and help given.
  3. Use the same movement name each time.
  4. Read the summary at the end of each week.
  5. Share the printout with the therapist before the next session.

Reading the log

Why count repetitions

Motor learning research shows that the amount of practice matters. Counting repetitions shows whether the student is getting the practice the plan calls for, which is often far less than intended.

Help levels

Recording the least help that worked, from hands-on to on their own, shows whether support is fading. Help that rises is worth telling the therapist about the same week.

What this is not

An exercise prescription. Movements, targets and precautions come from the student’s therapist.
