Weekly Reflection

The hardest moment this week was:
An accommodation that clearly helped:
Something I tried that did not work (and why I think so):
A sensory pattern I am starting to notice:
Self-care I actually did (not planned — did):

Example: Example: Elena's Week 3 Log

Elena is supporting her 14-year-old son who is autistic. This is what her Tuesday entry looked like.

Notes
The substitute changed the classroom seating. He came home and went straight to his room. I left a snack outside his door and waited.
