What It Captures
The worksheet captures situation, original command, revised direction, optional notes, and practitioner review status.
Important Limitations
The tool does not auto-generate directions, score parent language, infer child capability, or become a broader communication coaching product.
Does the worksheet write better commands for the parent?
No. Parents or practitioners enter the revised wording; the system organizes the pairings and flags missing fields.
Can a row be saved if the original command is missing?
Yes. A row can remain partial when the parent only knows the revised wording they want to try.
Can one command have multiple revised options?
Yes. Multiple revisions for one command can be stored as alternatives for review.
