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

Draft Versus Agreed

A goal remains a draft until the practitioner confirms that the person and practitioner share the same understanding. Interrupted sessions should remain draft rather than being forced complete.

Practitioner And Client Roles

The person contributes the participation priority and confirms whether the outcome matches their intent. The practitioner facilitates, captures, clarifies, and records planning notes.

What It Does Not Do

The tool does not auto-generate substantive participation goals, provide a goal library, assign scores, or create impairment targets.

Can this be completed by the client alone?

No. The specified experience is ready-to-complete-together, with the practitioner facilitating goal drafting and confirmation during collaboration.

When is a goal considered agreed?

A goal is agreed only when the practitioner confirms shared understanding with the person. Otherwise it remains a draft.

Does the tool generate the participation goal automatically?

No. The tool may organize entered content, but substantive goal wording must be entered, edited, or confirmed by the practitioner and person.

What happens if the person changes their priority later?

The prior agreed outcome should remain in history, and a revised outcome should be created or clearly shown as changed.
