Foundational Phase Procedures Checklist

The Foundational Phase Procedures Checklist is a practitioner-only phase-completion checklist for CPP practitioners. It helps the practitioner record source-defined foundational procedure statuses, identify missing or incomplete early-phase work, and support readiness discussion before moving forward.

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 while foundational work is ongoing and when considering whether the treatment episode is ready to move into the active intervention phase.

What It Captures

The checklist captures practitioner-recorded status for source-defined foundational procedures and shows missing or incomplete early-phase work.

Important Limitations

The tool does not create new procedures, apply a scoring threshold, or authorize a treatment phase transition.

Does the checklist decide whether the dyad is ready for the next phase?

No. It organizes completion and gap information; the practitioner makes the clinical readiness judgment.

Can clients complete this checklist?

No. The checklist is practitioner-only and does not require client or caregiver product input.

Can procedures be added to the checklist?

No. The procedures are source-defined and should remain part of the fixed CPP foundational-phase checklist structure.
