Rehabilitation Goal Worksheet
Turn a participant's stated wish into a measurable, time-bound rehabilitative goal.
Step 1 — Participant's words
"I want to…" (quote the participant directly)
Step 2 — Functional need
What everyday activity is hard right now? (not the diagnosis)
Step 3 — Long-term goal
Who will do what, how often, measured how, by when
Step 4 — Short-term objective (weeks, not months)
Smaller countable step
How it will be measured
Step 5 — Counselor interventions
Observable action verbs: model, rehearse, coach, cue, accompany, teach, role-play
Frequency and duration of the intervention
Step 6 — Supports and natural resources
People, places, and community supports involved
Goal quality check
- Written in the participant's own priority, not the counselor's

- Describes a skill or support, not a clinical procedure
- Achievable enough that success is likely within the review period
- Free of judgmental language
