Supported Contexts

The tool supports planning for home, school, community, workplace, transition, or training contexts.

Observation Boundary

Independence, accuracy, and support needs can be observed descriptively. The tool does not produce employability or adult-readiness decisions.

Routine Versioning

Changes in setting, steps, materials, or support can affect comparability and should remain visible in review.

Does this tool decide whether someone is ready for work or adult life?

No. It supports functional routine practice and descriptive observation, not readiness or employment determinations.

Can routines be practiced outside the real setting?

Yes. The practice setting can be a training context or a naturalistic setting, and the setting should remain visible in review.

Does the tool provide exact routine instructions from a book?

No. The practitioner supplies or separately provides the routine content, steps, and materials.

What can be tracked?

Optional tracking can describe independence, accuracy, completed steps, and support needs.
