Here's what I made up. It's in a Word document so you can make changes if you'd like to use it, although it might be messed up when you download it. I've also got a bunch of picture for each prompt that the kids can choose from and glue on to answer each question, although because I used graphics from Lesson Pix I'm only sharing those in their Sharing Center, which you're welcome to check out! Have fun!
All the other SLPs at the preschool I work at have some sort of "All About Me" activity that they use at the beginning of the year. Since I'm just meeting all my kids for the first time, I thought it was a great idea for me to do that too! I'm excited to use it as it will help me get to know my kids and get a sense of what their abilities are.

Going back a forth (maybe a million times) about how to format your data sheets? I've found that taking data by goal is REALLY beneficial. It helps me keep track of how long it's been since I've targeted a specific goal and ensures that progress notes and IEPs are super easy because all my data is already all separated out. It does take longer to set up all your sheets at the beginning of the year, but I think it's totally worth it!
This is the format I'm using this year - feel free to try it and adopt if for your own uses! I've been struggling with how to organize and store all my homemade flashcards - whether I made them myself or bought them off TPT (Teachers Pay Teachers), simply rubber-banding them and tossing them in a file was getting overwhelming and I couldn't stand the lack of organization!
Recently I got the idea to file them in binders, using baseball card protective sheets. So far it's worked out really well! It's great because I can fit 9 rows of cards in one sheet so I'm not flipping or sifting through lots of pages or a huge file. These are really cheap, too - here's a link on Amazon so you know what I'm talking about. I just bought mine at Staples. Try it if you think it will work for you! This is a great FREE app! It lets you easily track syllables and dysfluencies by type, then does the calculations for you! The app is called Fluency Calc: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fluency-calc/id887414340?mt=8 I've found it to be very useful for my young kiddos, as often they are not saying a ton anyway and I can pretty much keep up by tapping the button for every syllable, stuttered or not. It's harder to keep up with the older kid, but regardless this app is a great way to take specific, reliable data within a session... Without having to record the session and listening to it later! |
