This will be done through a number of methods, including:
Record review, interview with staff to gain a picture of the learner
Review of goals in place
Cross-reference targeted goals with those skills identified in the research as most important to improve outcomes
Analysis of how meaningful goals are using various independently developed curricula tools
Assessment of the inclusion of various essential/critical skills in the client’s repertoire
