Reference Manual for Writing Rehabilitation Therapy Treatment Plans

Book excerpt: This easy-to-use resource manual, developed to aid therapists in writing individual-specific treatment goals, is divided into five major domains: social, emotional, intellectual, physical, and leisure. The list of goals contains the components to be measured in each section including target symptoms, long-term goals, short-term goals, and intervention. The samples provided are designed as guides to address a variety of behaviors and provide examples of measurable, observable, and obtainable goals from which therapists can create individualized goals for the specific needs of their patients.
