Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.

When It Is Used

Use it after AAC assessment or participation review when intervention targets need to be meaningful, observable, and tied to daily communication needs.

What It Captures

The plan captures targets, priority order, functional-need links, context or preference links, practitioner notes, gap indicators, and review history.

Relevant Limitations

The tool does not generate goal-bank language, scoring, formal service-plan wording, or intervention steps.

Does this tool write AAC goals automatically?

No. The practitioner enters and controls final target wording; the tool organizes targets and flags missing links or vague entries.

Can a device-operation target be included?

Yes, but if it is not tied to functional communication, it should be flagged for missing functional link.

Can the AAC user contribute priorities?

Yes. The AAC user may contribute preferences or meaningful communication needs, while the practitioner creates final intervention targets.

Can targets be changed later?

Yes. The plan supports updates and preserves history as needs, abilities, or contexts change.
