Sensory-Motor Goal Plan

The Sensory-Motor Goal Plan is a collaborative treatment-planning tool for practitioners. It helps practitioners link assessed sensory-motor findings to functional needs and practitioner-authored intervention targets so treatment direction is grounded in the child's assessment profile and participation needs.

Assessment Grounding

Each target should reference an assessed sensory-motor finding before it is treated as grounded.

Functional Connection

Targets remain incomplete when they lack a link to participation, learning, behavior, or functional performance needs.

Collaborative Context

Caregiver or child-side context can inform functional needs, while the practitioner remains responsible for final target content.

Plan History

Dated plan states preserve how treatment direction changes over time rather than silently overwriting earlier plans.

Does the tool write goals for me?

No. The practitioner authors the target content; the tool structures links among findings, functional needs, and targets.

Can a caregiver contribute?

Yes. In the collaborative workflow, a caregiver or child-side participant may contribute context about functional needs or priorities.

What makes a target complete?

A target is complete when it has practitioner-authored target text, an assessed sensory-motor finding link, and a functional need connection.

Does this include therapy activities?

No. The tool creates intervention targets and does not generate activity plans.
