Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.

When It Is Used

Use it during intake, planning, or re-screening when home-based caregiver observations are needed for practitioner review.

Practitioner And Caregiver Roles

The practitioner sends and reviews the screening. The caregiver reports home observations and submits responses, but the tool does not ask the caregiver to make clinical decisions.

Repeat Use

Later caregiver reports can support comparison only when the same structure is reused or the product qualifies differences between structures.

Who completes the screening?

The caregiver completes the screening, and the practitioner reviews the submitted profile.

Does the tool provide a diagnosis?

No. It organizes caregiver-reported home observations and does not produce diagnoses or age-norm conclusions.

Can skipped items be hidden?

No. Skipped or unanswered items should remain visible as missing responses in the result.

What is saved from the demo?

The tool itself and selected setup are saved. Fictional caregiver responses and sample child data are not saved as real client data.
