Frequency Data Sheet

A free printable frequency count sheet for IEP and behavior goals measured as how many times something happens in a set period. Type your goal in and the sheet fills itself, or print it blank.

Fill in your goals

The sheet fills in as you type. Initials only, never a name. Nothing is saved on our side: your goals travel inside the QR code printed on the sheet, so scanning it reopens this sheet for a fresh stack.

Prompt key: I = independent · V = verbal · G = gestural · M = model · PP = partial physical · FP = full physical

  1. Write the start and end time before you start counting. A count without a window is not a rate and cannot be compared to another day.
  2. Tally as it happens. Reconstructing a count at the end of the period consistently undercounts.
  3. If the period gets cut short, record the real end time rather than dropping the session.

Use this sheet when the goal reads like

  • “will initiate a peer interaction 4 or more times per class period”
  • “will have fewer than 3 instances of calling out per 30-minute lesson”

Frequency only means something against a known window. Keep the window the same length where you can, and when you cannot, record the actual times so the comparison can be made per minute later.

Not sure this is the right method? Choosing a measurement type matches the verb in the goal to the sheet that fits.

Keep the sheets. Add the graph.

Log the same sessions in Evident and the graph draws itself: baseline, target, and the mastery line across the school year. No typing a stack of sheets into a spreadsheet in May.

A trial sheet after three sessions, filled in by hand: dates, settings, correct out of five, prompt levels, and short notes.
The goal graph: sessions since the end of August rising from a 40 percent baseline, the last three above the 80 percent mastery line.
