Phase 8: Reevaluation
Review the previous session and current needs before deciding what to do next.
Awaiting qualified clinical review. Educational reference; not a protocol, formal training, supervision, or individualized treatment.
Why this matters
Ask about target response, new material, daily functioning, support use, and safety; decide together whether to resume, prepare further, or revise the plan.
Client-facing explanation
We check what has changed and what still needs attention. You do not need to have improved to give a useful answer.
Clinician reference
What have you noticed since we last met? How does the previous target feel now? What needs attention today?
General sequence and discussion checklist
Optional discussion aid. Selections clear when you leave; this does not assess clinical readiness.
Practical example / documentation consideration
Documentation considerations: Record current target status, relevant ratings, functional changes, safety review, and updated plan.
