UK Edition: Behaviour Data Sheets: Frequency, Duration and Interval, SEND, KS4 and Post-16

Behaviour recording sheets for SEND and SEMH, with a short guide on picking the right one. Good data starts with a definition two adults agree on, so that is where this set starts too.

What's included

• Guide to choosing a method: frequency, duration, partial interval, momentary time sampling or scatterplot

• How to write a behaviour definition: what you'd see and hear, what counts and what doesn't, when one ends

• Frequency count: daily and weekly

• Duration recording sheet

• Partial interval and momentary time sampling sheets

• Two week scatterplot by time of day

How I use it

I pick one sheet for one behaviour and keep it on a clipboard for two weeks. The scatterplot shows me when the hard times are, which usually tells me more than the count. The data is useful for SEN Support reviews and as evidence for an EHC needs assessment.
