SEN Home and School Communication Diary (Weekly)

This communication book is designed to be easily maintained with minimal teacher input, cutting down on daily workload while still delivering essential insights to parents. It’s a fantastic resource for schools, parents, and therapy teams, supporting children’s unique learning journeys in a collaborative way.

In this book, you will find:
Weekly Activity and Regulation Tracking: Each week includes a visual overview where teachers can quickly mark mood and engagement levels, as well as note any focus areas or achievements, making it easy to stay updated on your child’s week at school.

Food Diary: The book includes a weekly food diary to track meals and snacks with simple visuals, making it easy to indicate the amount eaten, whether all, most, or a little. This helps parents and caregivers monitor dietary habits and any new foods tried.

Gestalt Language Diary: Capture and share your child’s progress in language development! This section allows teachers and parents to document specific words or phrases used, along with the context, which helps in understanding your child’s unique communication style. It’s particularly helpful for children who communicate using gestalt language patterns, and encourages shared insights between school and home.

Wow Moments: Special achievements or joyful experiences are celebrated in a dedicated section, fostering positivity and providing parents with delightful updates on their child’s development.

Collaborative Notes Section: Parents are encouraged to share notes about weekends or add personal insights, and the book can also be used as an evidence tool for appointments with occupational therapists, dieticians, and speech and language therapists.
