ADHD Observation and Support Note for Child Care

Use this structured observation and support note to document a child’s behavior in context, without labels, and plan one small classroom support. The printable form guides educators through what happened before, the child’s observable actions, patterns and frequency, the impact, and the support tried. It also provides space to review what helped and record family or team follow-up, making it useful during routines, transitions, or recurring participation challenges. The form emphasizes observing across routines and days and clearly states that it does not diagnose ADHD.
