When It Is Used

This tool is used during or immediately after CDI caregiver-child interaction observation when the practitioner needs quantified skill-frequency and mastery information.

Limits

The tool does not diagnose caregiver capacity, explain why a skill changed, provide hidden scoring, or automatically decide phase transition.

Does the caregiver need to enter data?

No. The practitioner can complete the tracker from observed caregiver behavior. A caregiver may review a shared summary if the practitioner chooses.

What does the result show?

The result shows observed counts by skill type, practitioner-entered mastery status, prior-session comparison, and descriptive trend direction.

Can partial observations be saved?

Yes. Partial observations are labeled separately so they do not distort completed-session longitudinal patterns.
