Listen "#32 Beyond SMART Goals: A Deeper Dive into Effective Therapy Planning"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we dive into the essential topic of goal setting in allied health. We discuss the unique challenges allied health professionals face in setting effective, measurable goals for clients, particularly children. We explore various frameworks, such as SMART and GROW models, and emphasize the importance of understanding child development, using evidence-based practices, and aligning goals with functional outcomes for long-term progress.
We also share insights on the importance of clinical reasoning, breaking down broad goals into achievable steps, and how different children’s temperaments and motivations can influence goal-setting strategies. The episode concludes with valuable tips on using pre-assessment checklists and other tools to streamline the goal-setting process.
Key Points:
Frameworks for Goal Setting: Differences between SMART and GROW models.
Clinical Reasoning: Aligning goals with research and functional outcomes.
Breaking Down Goals: Creating micro-goals and “step-up”/“step-down” methods.
Understanding Child Development: The role of typical developmental milestones.
Customizing Goals for Each Child: How to adjust based on temperament and motivation.
