A home plan sized to the time the family really has.

Start from the school goal and the minutes the family can give. Plan short activities, log what they report each week, and the organizer shows what to cut, what to send home and what to make harder.

a few minutes, most days
Drawn for this page. Short practice the family can keep up beats a long list they cannot.

How to use it

  1. Start a plan with a code or initials and the date.
  2. Write the school goal and mark the skills it depends on.
  3. Ask the family how many minutes and days they can really give, and what they have at home.
  4. Plan two or three short activities, then log a report each week.
  5. Send the note for home in the way the family asked for.

Before you plan

Fit beats volume

Families keep up a short plan that fits their week better than a long one. Plan inside the minutes they name, and use materials they already have.

Listen to the reports

Too hard or refused means the activity needs a smaller step. Easy means it is time to add one. Two empty weeks mean the plan does not fit.

What it is not

Not a therapy prescription. Activities come from the student’s occupational therapist and support the school plan; stop anything that causes pain.
