When It Is Used
Use it near or after active behavior-change work when treatment gains need to hold in daily life and future stressors.
Generalization Plan
Generalization Plan is an FFT planning tool completed together by practitioner and family. It helps practitioners and families identify treatment gains to maintain, settings and stressors where those gains must transfer, concrete outside-session uses, likely breakdown points, and broader systems or supports when needed.
Explore a sample maintenance pathway with fictional, non-identifying family context.

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
Practitioner And Family Roles
The practitioner guides treatment links and review; the family contributes daily-life settings, stressors, barriers, and feasible uses.
Important Limits
The tool does not provide reminder systems, monitoring, referral lookup, relapse scores, or unsupported predictions.
Can the plan include supports beyond the household?
Yes. Broader-systems transfer is a supported scope when external settings or supports are needed.
Does the tool find community resources?
No. This tool identifies broader supports descriptively when needed; it does not perform resource lookup or referral management.
What is saved into my account?
The tool itself and selected plan scope are saved. Fictional gains, stressors, and demo support entries are not saved as real client data by default.
