Goal Setting and Strategies to Support Goal Progress
“Children do well when they can” Dr Ross Greene
Collaborative Goal Setting:
Goal setting is a core component of occupational therapy practice. We work closely with children, their families and educators to establish meaningful, mutually agreed-upon goals that reflect the child’s needs and aspirations.
Strategies to Support Goal Progress:
Regular Monitoring and Evaluation
We consistently review each goal, making necessary adjustments to the learning support plan.
Problem-Solving and Support
We assist the child and their team in identifying and overcoming barriers to goal achievement, offering tailored support and strategies to help them succeed.
Skill Acquisition and Practice
When goals target certain developmental areas (e.g., handwriting, gross motor skills), we can facilitate the development and practice of the skills necessary for achieving the goal, ensuring that tasks are graded and adjustments are made to the child’s current level.
Environmental Modifications and Assistive Technology
We may recommend modifications and adjustments to the environment or the use of assistive devices to support children with their goals.
By following this structured process, we effectively guide children and their families towards achieving their desired outcomes, ultimately enhancing their quality of life.
