Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
What It Captures
The tool captures the draft aim, observable outcome, measurement or review basis, relevance, context or conditions, and timeframe.
Limits
The tool does not create GAS attainment levels, compute scores, recommend treatment, or invent goal content.
Does this tool create a full Goal Attainment Scale?
No. It creates an explicit measurable goal; GAS attainment levels and follow-up scoring are separate steps.
Can the system write the goal for me?
No. The system can compose or display entered components, but it must not invent substantive goal content.
Is client participation required?
The supported mode is ready to complete together, so client input may help confirm relevance and meaningfulness, but the practitioner controls the record.
What is saved?
The fixed SMART Goal Definition tool is saved as-is. Demo goal text is not saved as real client data.
