Practitioner And Family Roles

Family members contribute priorities and context. The practitioner maintains the plan and care-team coordination state.

What It Captures

The plan captures family priorities, educational or emotional support needs where relevant, matched supports, feasibility notes, and coordination notes.

Limits

The tool does not collect unsupported family functioning ratings, diagnoses, counseling protocols, financial/legal details, or prescribed support steps.

Do family members complete this alone?

No. The tool is designed to be completed together, with the practitioner supporting plain-language priority and context capture.

What anchors the plan?

Family priorities anchor the plan; supports without linked priorities are flagged for review.

Can uncertain family input be saved?

Yes. Sensitive or uncertain input can be recorded as unresolved rather than forced into the plan.

What is saved from the demo?

The tool and reusable configuration are saved. Fictional family priorities and sample case content are not saved as real client data.
