Don’t “Brian will participate in the support planning process” “Brian will move his bowels daily” Why is this important? “I will be able to go out shopping without being embarrassed” Actions: daily bowel cares Client-centred not agency-centred Do
Don’t “Brian will move his bowels daily” “I will be able to go out shopping without being embarrassed” Use the words “I will…” Do
Don’t “Brian will engage with one person of a similar age using a 5-step interaction” “I will…” Use the client’s own words Do
Be sure they’re SMART • “I will go to the gym every day” • Is this realistic? • “I want to get fit” • Is this measureable? • “I want to finish the Auckland Round the Bays fun run”
Don’t “I will pick up a 15kg weight from floor to chest height” “I want to pick up my grandchild by the end of the month” Simple is best Do
Break big goals into smaller, achievable goals • Example: person with severe TBI has the goal to be an airline pilot • Break this big goal down into smaller ones: • “I will go to the airport and watch planes each week” • “I will go on a flight simulator next school holidays” • I will save $10 a week towards a flight on a plane” • “I’ll be able to catch the bus to the airport on my own by September” • “I will be able to iron my own shirt by the end of September”
Use family & community supports • “I’ll go to a rugby game with my cousins on Saturday” • Remember the client’s budget & situation • No point setting up a gym programme if the client can’t afford to pay the gym membership long term • True community participation • Not just disability programmes • “I will have one friend in 6 months’ time” • Risk huge sense of failure if not achieved
