Home practice instructions for families

Families can return to an assigned activity when the material, instructions and way to ask a question are kept together. Fill in this handout after a session and share it with the adult alongside the material.

What to include before sharing

  1. Name the exact material and explain how to open it. Check that the family received the right file or link.
  2. Describe the steps in plain language. Specify duration, frequency and adult support according to your professional plan.
  3. Explain the response you need: a completion update, a question or a short observation. A photo or voice recording is not a required part of this handout.
  4. At the next session, go through unclear steps with the family and adjust the instructions.

An example using synthetic data

Material: card 2, assigned at the session. Steps: follow the two steps in the specialist’s handout. Adult support: open the material and read the instructions. Response: note which step you reached and any unclear instruction. Follow-up: discuss this at the beginning of the next session.

This handout organises an activity already selected by a specialist. It does not prescribe a method, workload or intervention programme.

Share the activity in your workspace

In Cadenivo, instructions and materials stay beside the assigned activity. The adult can add a response or question, and the specialist can review it before the next session.
