First Words Tracker | Early Intervention SLPs | Parent Handout

Families need to see progress to stay motivated. This tracker makes every new word feel like a win worth celebrating.

What's included:

✔ Simple tracking sheet that documents what the child said, how they said it and whether it was spontaneous or imitated

✔ Works for late talkers, gestalt language processors, Autism, Down Syndrome, etc

✔ Parent-friendly format anyone can use between visits

✔ Builds consistency and carryover at home and in sessions

✔ Print-ready PDF

💡 How EI SLPs are using this: Fill it out together at the end of each visit to celebrate progress. Send it home so families have something concrete to focus on. Pull it out at IFSP meetings to show real growth over time.
