Detailed App Info:
Application Description
The SLP Goal Bank is designed to be used as a clinical tool for speech and language pathologists.The SLP Goal Bank is an application developed by Smarty Ears, LLC designed to serve as a starting point to speech and language pathologists when creating goals for children and adults with speech and language delay.
It is designed specifically for speech and language pathologists with the appropriate training and accreditation to allow them to work with these clinical populations and should only be used by such professionals.
These goals have been created by trained speech and language pathologists following the guidelines provided by various training programs worldwide. They have been developed as a guide to planning appropriate intervention for patients/clients with a range of communication and swallowing disorders. However, the app only provides a general framework for treatment goals. Each client will present with individual needs, and therefore the app allows for tailoring of specific goals to these requirements. Remember that this should only be done following thorough evaluation. After all, you have to know what you want your client to be able to do.
The following tips will help you to use the goal bank effectively. Keep the “SMART” goal framework in mind when planning for your clients. Goals must be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely.
Choose the specific disorder type/ area of need for your client: e.g Articulation, Dysarthria, AAC etc.
Goals may be of the following types:
Annual Goals = where do you want the client to be in one year (needs to be realistic, yet functional), needs to be measurable,
Short Term Objective or benchmarks = steps towards the annual goal, demonstrates growth,
In creating your goal you will need to:
1. Address who the goal is for.
Student will…/Patient will/Caregiver will
2. Describe what it is you want the client to do.
Produce the /r/ sounds in simple words…
3. Give other conditions are required for the goal.
Given a verbal model…, with maximum cueing…..with hand over hand prompt……
4. Give the criteria for achieving the goal.
With 90% accuracy in 4 consecutive therapy sessions…
5. State how the goal will be measured.
