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 Client Roles

The practitioner facilitates the card session; the person with aphasia supplies the values and interests that determine priorities.

What It Captures

The tool captures selected or prioritized cards, lower-priority or unresolved status where captured, optional notes, and date or session context.

Relevant Limitations

The tool does not infer values from nonselection, score priorities, or automatically generate therapy goals.

Does this tool create therapy goals automatically?

No. It produces participation priorities that can inform later goal discussion.

Who decides which cards matter most?

The person with aphasia provides the choices and priorities, with practitioner facilitation as needed.

What happens to unsorted cards?

Unsorted cards remain unresolved and should not be treated as unimportant without confirmation.

What is saved from the public demo?

The tool itself and selected reusable settings are saved. Sample card choices and fictional notes do not become real client data.
