Goal Development
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Considerations | Target Populations/ Theoretical Basis/ Empirical Basis (Evidence)/ Practical/ Requirements/ Assessment Results/ Age and developmental appropriateness/ CLD Considerations/ Application |
| Goal hierarchy | Basic Goals & Intermediate: Functional, long-term./ Specific Goals: Short-term (semester). / Subgoals: Daily objectives./ Activities./ Reassessment and modification |
| Goal Attack Strategies | Vertical (one goal area at a time, followed by the next)./ Horizontal (two areas at once)./ Cyclical (alternating goal areas before completion criteria are met) |
| Procedures | Level of support: Modeling/ Cueing/ Prompting/ Hand over hand/ Visuals/ Therapy Protocols/ Evidence |
| Activities purpose | Create the social and physical conditions for the intervention in which the procedures are utilized.. Meaningful and Motivating. Contain the materials to elicit the targets. |
| Activities purpose | Create the social and physical conditions for the intervention in which the procedures are utilized.. Meaningful and Motivating. Contain the materials to elicit the targets. |
| Activity types | Functional, child directed (Play, daily routines)/ Clinician Directed (Structured, Drill) |
| Intervention Context | Should be chosen based on functional needs and what needs to be achieved. |
| Components of a Behavioral Objective | Performance/ Condition/ Criterion |
| Condition | Defines context and variables. Think supports (cueing/no cueing). Answers What, Where, When, Who. |
| Criterion | The standard by which performance is evaluated. Often stated as speech, accuracy, or quality. Measurable. |
| What are long-term goals based on? | 1. Test results give info about what problem area needs help. 2. Client's desired outcome/motivation 3. Prognosis 4. Developmental/age appropriateness 5. Baseline (tests may not include info about performance conditions/accuracy rates) |
