When It Is Used
Use it after a PCIT session when the caregiver is expected to practice child-directed interaction skills at home before the next session.
CDI Homework / Special Time Sheet
CDI Homework / Special Time Sheet is a ready-to-send PCIT home-practice adherence and barrier-tracking tool for practitioners assigning child-directed interaction practice between sessions. It helps the practitioner understand whether the caregiver carried skills into home routines and what barriers interfered, so coaching can address current home-practice needs.

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
What It Captures
The sheet captures practice completion information, missed or unclear entries, barriers to home use, interval completion status, and practitioner review notes.
Limits
The tool does not teach the CDI skill set, score parent skill quality, score child behavior, or generate automated treatment recommendations.
Does the sheet measure CDI skill quality?
No. It tracks home-practice adherence and barriers, not skill quality.
Can caregivers record barriers without long explanations?
Yes. Barriers can be recorded briefly so missed or difficult practice is visible without requiring a long narrative.
Are missed entries treated as no practice?
No. Missed entries are distinguishable from reported no practice or unclear information.
What is saved after the demo?
The tool and selected practice-interval setup are saved; fictional practice entries and sample barriers are not saved as real client data.
