I think it would help to have a video of the participants to help keep me awake....but the content was interesting. Not sure if I could use this with 3-5 year olds on the spectrum in terms of them picking out goals. But, it might help get parents more involved-which is definitely worth a lot!

This information puts validity to the inclusive model of therapy services in the school-based practice. If you really want to climb the monkey bars, then by all means provide therapy on the playground. I have lots of shoe tying goals, may need to address if you care about it.

Information is provided in an easy and accessible way. Meaning I was able to listen while I was driving and take in the information and able to absorb the wealth of knowledge presented. I look forward to listening to it again to gain more insight. I appreciate that Patti Sharp, OTD, MS, OTR/L is an advocate for improving the OT profession and using evidence based practice. Her work here is helping me to become a better OT across the board!! I will look for more courses by her!

It definitely resonated with me because I currently feel as a newer grad that my goals are lacking. That being said I feel that some of the things talked about in this course were a little repetitive. I also wish she would have compared how she would a writer a goal in the past vs. how she currently write goals, as in an actual goal written out. She touched on this very briefly. Overall all I think it was a great course. I just personally did not gain much from it.

It is meaningful to learn how the presenter's experience prompted to her to change how she thought about goal setting. School-based therapists are charged with writing functional goals and the discussion of this podcast is helpful for thinking about the goals of my students.

Affirming to hear how well-practiced OTs still struggle with goal writing and are taking steps to examine their practices. I liked how this course focused on returning to function, though I would have appreciated more examples of functional goals that have measurable components.

It helped me realize that I, too, have become just a creature of habit and utilizing goals that fix impairments instead of asking what's important to my patients and their families. This also helped me understand why I'm not seeing any carryover or a great increase in performance among my patients.

Full of great information related to client centered goal setting. It's what OT is all about! This was a great refresher on remembering that the patient/client is the most important part of our job and their engagement allows better for their subsequent success. This was a fantastic listen. I just wish there were better visuals to go along with the talk. Loved this course.

Although the course emphasized the importance of client centered-care and functional goal setting, I believe it should have gone over components of goal writing and semantics to help further promote functional goal setting.

I really liked the podcast format. It was much more engaging and interesting to listen to than just one individual lecturing at you. I also really liked the topic. I often get frustrated with goal writing because I too feel the need to write a measurable, accurate, specific goal that often loses it's functional component by the end of it.

I felt that it made me think about how I do goal setting. Even though I have not worked in pediatrics, I want to focus on this area for CEUs. My son has muscular dystrophy and I am interested in expanding my practice to this area. Being on the other side of therapy as a family member and caregiver, I feel that focusing on top/down and family/child-centered goals is important!
