As an Assistant or Aide, you play a key role in supporting providers and students. Whether you’re helping track repetitions, monitoring student engagement, or capturing quick observations, Kit gives you simple tools to collect data in real time. This helps the provider you’re supporting see the full picture—without adding extra steps to your workflow.
Let’s look at some examples of how you can use Kit across different disciplines (with a few pro tips to make things even smoother).
🏃 Scenario 1: Physical Therapy
Example Goal:
Jordan will complete 10 sit-to-stands with proper form in 3 consecutive sessions.
While working with Jordan, you use the Frequency Counter in Kit to log each sit-to-stand. If he needs help, you use the Assistance Level dropdown to mark minimal or moderate support.
👉 Pro tip: Add a quick note in the wrap-up Session Notes section like: “completed 9 reps today—fatigued by the end.” That way, the Physical Therapist has context when reviewing the data.
👕 Scenario 2: Occupational Therapy
Example Goal:
Ben will independently button 3 out of 5 buttons on his sweater in 4 consecutive sessions.
You track correct vs. incorrect attempts using the thumbs up/down buttons in Kit. In the Subjective Notes, you jot down quick context such as: “needed extra time with the smaller buttons.”
You might also create Custom Calculators in Kit to capture which strategies or supports helped or didn’t help Ben during the task. For example, you could add supports like larger button adaptations, using a button hook tool, or stabilizing the fabric with one hand. This makes it easier to see which approaches are most effective across sessions.
🗣️ Scenario 3: Speech-Language Pathology
Example Goal:
Leo will correctly produce /s/ in the initial position of words with 80% accuracy in structured tasks.
As Leo practices, you log each correct vs. incorrect production with the thumbs up/down buttons in Kit. Using the Supporting Data Calculators, you track how many visual or verbal prompts were needed to stay successful. You can also use the Record feature so he can listen back to his progress.
📚 Scenario 4: Special Education
Example Goal:
Sofia will remain on task during independent work for 15 minutes with no more than two redirections in 4 out of 5 sessions.
You use Kit’s Timer to measure how long Sofia stays on task. Each time you redirect, you tap ➕ using the Supporting Data Calculators to capture the intervention used (like visual cue or verbal cue). In your Subjective Notes section, you add: “stayed focused for 12 minutes with three visual cues.”
✨ With Kit, Assistants and Aides can collect meaningful data in just a few clicks. By capturing observations in the moment—whether it’s accuracy, independence, or engagement—you help build a more complete picture of student progress.
