Each service begins with an evaluation of the member’s current abilities. The evaluating therapist then creates a Plan of Care for the member with specific goals that will be worked on.  Evidence supports that task-oriented therapy encourages and supports participation in daily activities, which generally results in more frequent practice of emerging skills and better carryover into real-world situations (Gannotti et al., 2014). In other words, across all types of disabilities, functional improvements are more likely to occur when the goals of therapy are clearly delineated, relevant to the child’s daily life, and measurable (Bower et al., 1996).
