As an Occupational Therapist, you’re juggling fine motor skills, sensory regulation, and self-care tasks—all while making sure your students feel successful and supported. Kit takes the stress out of tracking data so you can stay focused on student progress.
Let’s jump into some real-life examples of how you can use Kit’s data collection feature with a variety of student goals (and a few fun pro tips along the way).
✍️ Scenario 1: Fine Motor Skills (Handwriting)
Example Goal:
Sue will improve fine motor coordination by independently forming letters with correct orientation and spacing in 80% of observed opportunities across 3 consecutive sessions.
While Sue practices handwriting, you can track her progress with the Frequency Counter in Kit to record how many letters are formed correctly. You also set up a Custom Support Calculator called Pencil Grip and tap ➕/➖ to track how much it helps during the session.
👉 Quick tip: If Sue completes a writing sample, snap a photo, upload it to Google Drive, and paste the link into your wrap-up Session Notes in Kit. That way, you’ve got both data and a real work sample to share with her team or family.
🌟 Scenario 2: Sensory Regulation
Example Goal:
Jamal will independently request and use a sensory tool or movement break to regulate behavior in 4 out of 5 opportunities.
You’re supporting Jamal, who uses movement breaks to stay regulated. Using Kit’s Timer, you can track how long he stays engaged before needing a break. In the Subjective Notes section, you jot down which tools (weighted lap pad, fidget, etc.) worked best. Bonus—you can even hit the Record button and capture Jamal describing which strategies help him feel calm, in his own words.
👕 Scenario 3: Self-Care Skills
Example Goal:
Aria will independently complete clothing fasteners (buttons, zippers, or snaps) with no more than 1 verbal prompt in 3 consecutive sessions.
Aria is practicing buttoning her shirt. You log her attempts with the thumbs up/down buttons in Kit. Then, you use ➕/➖ buttons on the Supporting Data Calculators to track whether prompts (verbal, physical, etc.) were needed. The Assistance Level dropdown makes it super easy to capture exactly how much support she required!
✨ With Kit, Occupational Therapists can capture both quantitative and qualitative data in the moment—without juggling clipboards or sticky notes. Whether it’s fine motor, sensory, or self-care, everything you need to show progress is right at your fingertips.
