Goal Linkage
Every goal remains linked to its target problem so later tasks and progress review stay aligned with the agreed focus.
Goal Statement for Task-Centered Work
Goal Statement is a task-centered goal-definition tool for practitioners working with clients after a target problem has been identified. It helps create a specific, measurable, and achievable description of the desired outcome for that target problem.
Write a sample goal and review whether it is ready for task planning.

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
Draft Goals
A vague, unrealistic, or unassessable goal can remain draft until practitioner and client revise it.
What It Excludes
The tool does not provide a goal library, treatment recommendations, standardized outcome scores, or unsupported progress scales.
Does Goal Statement create tasks?
No. Goal Statement defines the desired outcome; task planning is a separate next step.
Does measurable require a number?
Not necessarily. The supplied specification supports assessable progress, but the exact measurement format depends on local practice and is not defined here.
Can a goal remain draft?
Yes. A goal remains draft when specificity, achievability, assessability, or client meaning is unresolved.
