CadenivoA free template for speech specialists and families
Speech therapy home practice log
Between sessions, families need to remember the activity and specialists need to know what happened. This log keeps the assignment, family observations and next questions together.
No sign-up needed. Open the CSV in Excel, Google Sheets or LibreOffice.
How to use the practice log
- The specialist adds the assigned activity, material link and clear instructions. Include duration or frequency in the instructions if these are part of the plan.
- The family records the date and what happened: completed, needed help or not started. A short observation is more useful than a general rating of the session.
- Keep questions beside the activity: an unclear instruction, a material that was difficult to use or a point to discuss at the next appointment.
- At the next session, the specialist reviews the notes and chooses the next step. Completing this log does not require a photograph or audio recording of the child.
An example entry
Activity: material 2, assigned at the session. Instructions: follow the specialist’s handout. Family response: we started and stopped at part two because the instruction was unclear. Question: can we go through the second step together? Specialist’s next step: clarify the instruction at the session.
