Tool guide
Learn more about this tool
Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
Longitudinal Value
History matters because repeated Circle Stories can be reviewed descriptively to see how the caregiver's understanding or responses are changing over time.
Limits
The tool does not score the narrative, create automated clinical interpretations, or invent prompts or rubric dimensions.
Does Circle Story use scores?
No. The product specification supports narrative review and descriptive theme organization, not scoring.
Can caregivers save a draft?
Yes. The caregiver experience should support saving and resuming because narrative reflection may take time.
What does the practitioner review?
The practitioner reviews the full narrative and supported themes: needs linkage, trigger reactions or sensitivities, strengths, struggles, and signs of change.
Are exact prompts included?
Exact prompts are unresolved in the product specification, so the demo must not invent required Circle Story prompts.
