Client Goals & Objectives KNR 273 Stumbo & Peterson, 2009 (pp MUST KNOW) Austin, 2004 Melcher, 1999

Using Assessment Results to Create Client Goals/Objectives The first step in developing goals & objectives is the assessment Without an appropriate assessment, appropriate goals & objectives can not be written Make sure clients know goals & objectives

Behavioral Objectives Should not be attendance/participation MUST KNOW Used in all TR classes Used in treatment plan On NCTRC exam

Behavioral Objectives Must be so clear that 2 different people have no problem making the same decision of whether the objective was met/the behavior occurred!!!!!!!!!

Definitions Goal = Broad statement of intent Should be client goal, not program goal Objective = How to meet the goal Measurable description of performance the client will demonstrate A = actor B = behavior (also called “performance”) C = condition D = degree (also called C = criteria) Formula = C,ABD

Definitions Condition = important circumstances or limitations under which the behavior will occur (what given, restrictions) On request… When given a choice of three activities… After completion of program… Behavior = what client is expected to do Should be overt (what can be seen or heard)

Behaviors Austin: Only 1 behavior per BO Easier to measure Easier to meet objective Stumbo & Peterson: Multiple behaviors or steps Dr. Zahl and I will want only 1 behavior per BO

Definitions Degree/Criteria = how know behavior was accomplished Evidence that objective is met Number of trials (3 out of 5 tries) Level of accuracy (putt into circle) Amount of time (within 10 minutes) DO NOT OVERUSE!!!!!! Percentages (25%) Form (as described in Red Cross manual) Procedures & characteristics As judged by CTRS

Degree/Criteria Dr. Zahl does not like “as judged by CTRS. I do if part of other criteria On request, the client will make a legal Ping Pong serve 3 out of 5 times, as judged by instructor. For consistency in all TR classes we will not use “as judged by.”

Sample Objectives On request, the client will make a legal Ping-Pong serve 3 out of 5 times. Number of trials After completion of the Community Reintegration Program, the client will estimate the cost of a dinner and a movie, within $3.00. Level of accuracy
