Question by Sivawoman: Does anyone know of a free download to track adolescent behaviors? Needle in a haystack I know!?
I currently work with adolescents and it’s time consuming to write daily progress reports. I know that there are many programs available for purchase, but in this tough economy, our small program just can’t afford it. If you know of any trial versions available for free, or know of anything that would be helpful, I would appreciate it very much. I know this is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but I would rather spend my time doing more hands on things with ‘my kids’ instead of spending hours charting! Thanks in advance!

You might want to check Amazon for a used “Treatment Planner” book. You can copy some of the pages and leave the spots empty to fill in with specifics. Ebay may have them, too.

Good luck!
