Description
These Screening and Data Sheets are perfect for measuring skills and tracking progress! Better yet, they come in a 12 month pack, with a different theme each month. The data collected each month is consistent, but the theme changes in order to motivate learners, keep them interested, limit memorization, or learn by rote teaching.
These Screening and Data sheets packs contain over 30 reproducible pages each month to work on handwriting, pre-writing strokes, scissor skills, dressing and self help, letter formation (upper and lowercase), and number formation.
This Occupational Therapy Screening and Data Collection Bundle does the work for you. With 12 different packets, each activity set includes seasonally themed OT screening activities to make data collection fun and engaging.
Documentation and data collection is a chore. Let us make it fun and motivating for kids so they WANT to tackle the very skills that they are working on in occupational therapy sessions: handwriting, letter formation, number formation, coloring, cutting skills, and self-care tasks.
There was a time when teachers/therapists were not gathering data to measure skills and progress. This was definitely easier for educators, however without measurable evidence, it was difficult to assess effectiveness of the programs.
Educators have more than 20 children in each class to track. School based therapists might have 90 children they track per month! It is easy to get them confused and forget which learner is able to cut a circle on the lines, who can write their letters, or how many can zip their own coats. These data sheets make documentation more streamlined and consistent. Using the same type of collection sheets each month can track progress and provide clear documentation of skills.

Many of the sheets include documentation prompts at the bottom to gather data. For example, the lowercase letter copying sheet includes: number of letters written correctly, correct size of letters, modifications needed, and prompts given. There are spaces to chart the learner’s name and the date of the assessment.
The Occupational Therapy Screening and Data Collection Kits include prompts to screen for:
- Identifying how many letters are formed correctly/directionality/legibility
- Determining the percentage of correct letters when copying upper case or lower case letters
- Analyzing the size of letters in relation to the boxes
- Determining grasping pattern, hand dominance
- Screening for attention to detail, following directions, prompts and reminders needed, level of assistance given
- Identifying if your learner scan the page to identify the correct letters? Are they recognizing what they are writing, or merely copying lines and curves?
- Screening to see if students can form sentences from a writing prompt? What does their writing look like when not copying from a model?
- Is their independent writing below average because of fine motor delay, cognitive difficulties, or learning delays such as spelling and grammar?
- Screening for how the student holds and manipulates the scissors/pencil? How much assistance do they need to grip the scissors and cut?
- Identifying if the student uses bilateral coordination to hold the scissors while trying to manipulate the paper?
- Tell how many times you need to repeat the directions so your learner can follow them?
- Screening for how many reminders the student needs while doing this activity?
- Determining what goals and skills you are addressing. Are you looking strictly at letter formation, tracing, and alphabet recall, or something else entirely such as executive function and behavior?
- Focusing your observations on the skills you are addressing. It is alright to address one, or all ten skills at once, just be sure to watch for those skills during the activity. It can take practice to watch everything all at once. Newer clinicians often videotape sessions to go back and review clinical observations they may have missed.
Use data to back up your documentation. Avoid or limit phrases such as min assist, fair, good, some, many, etc. They are vague and do not contain the numbers and data critical to proficient documentation. Instead use percentages, number of trials, number of errors, exact sizing, how many letters were written incorrectly, number of reversals, number of prompts, minutes of attention.
This type of documentation may feel foreign at first if this is not what you are used to, however insurance and governing agencies are becoming more strict on accurate documentation and evidence based practice.
Using these Monthly Screening and Data Collection Sheets will help streamline your documentation, as well as give you the tools needed to accurately report information.
Includes screening tools for each month of the year and data collection recording areas to track targets.
