What It Plans

The plan focuses on skill acquisition steps for target skills tied to the chosen environment.

Progress

Progress is tracked descriptively through status, notes, and later skill-use evidence, not unsupported scores.

Limitations

The tool does not invent teaching content, prescribe practice methods, infer priorities automatically, or replace support planning.

Does the tool generate skill-teaching steps?

No. Action steps are entered by the practitioner and person.

Can it use a prior skill evaluation?

Yes. The plan can build from a prior Skill Functioning Evaluation or be created manually.

What if a target skill has no action step?

It remains unresolved until at least one actionable step is added or the unresolved status is kept.

Does the plan include environmental supports?

No. It may reference context, but support planning is a separate workflow.
