Goals Formal

Formal Goals

DSPs are the household staff members that provide the supervision and support for the individuals we serve. Formal goals are areas that have been identified by an individual’s team as important skill-building areas. These formal goals are documented regularly and success rates are tracked to show an individual’s progress over time. These goals evolve and serve as a way to build skills and independence.

Goals Informal

Informal Goals

Informal goals are areas that have been identified as important, but do not require the data tracking of a formal goal. Often these are areas that were formal goals in the past or are skills that an individual already has and we want to reinforce. The informal goals are still monitored and tracked by staff, just not as intensely as a formal goal.
