The 14-Day Pattern Monitoring Tool

Most hard days have a pattern. It's just very hard to see it when you're in the middle of it.

This tool helps you watch for two weeks, about ten minutes a day, so you can see what is really sitting behind the behaviour before you change anything.

Why two weeks? One hard day tells you very little. Fourteen days shows you what keeps repeating: the time of day, the place, the demand, what came just before.

Inside you'll get:

A plain-English guide to using it

The Pattern, Need, Support, Skill, Repair framework

Language swaps for the hard moments

A simple 1 to 5 regulation scale

A daily record to print for each of the 14 days

A weekly pattern review

A 14-day summary that pulls it all together

For parents, carers and educators. Written by Dom Soroka, Master of Special Needs, with 28 years in education. Educational resource, not diagnostic advice.

No blame. No shame. Just clearer next steps.
