Posted by Nikki I think that it helps to have a "teaching" phase of your treatment where you don't keep any data and your notes can simply state that you educated the student to your strategies and practiced some of them. Embellish (if you want)by saying the student required frequent verbal/tactile cues or whatever it took for them to achieve the target. Then, have a session or two where you keep data. If you feel more education is needed, then have another teaching day, where you don't keep any data, or be flexible in your sessions as needed. Explain that opportunities were abbreviated due to the need for education or however you want to word it. For language, I'm going to try PICA data collection this year. I just started in a school last week. In the hospital, I loved it for cognition! If you're not familiar with it, send a reply and I'll tell you about it.

I understand completely. I felt that way in the hospital too (always testing performance). I'm not sure about Medicaid in your state. Our data in my school district for Medicaid is very simple. You don't need percentages. You only have to state what you were working on. Comments are optional.
