Practice
At least weekly the provider has a “pop quiz” with the individual receiving services to make sure they remember what their goal is. (Can you tell me what your goal is/do you remember your goal…) The answer is documented on the service log under a”pop quiz” category.
Who Benefits? How?
Most people are familiar with the “pop quiz” concept. This is a simple and quick way to ensure the person and the providers remember the goal.
How could others apply this in practice?
Other providers could follow the same procedure and put a “pop quiz – what’s your goal” line on the service log.
The pop quiz idea could be used for other purposes depending on the individuals need – such as – who do you call if you need help, where do you keep your wallet, what day do you go to work…. The question could change as needed.
