What We Get Wrong When We Write Goals

About this episode

REGISTER FOR GOALS WEEK!! You read the goal out loud. The parent nods. "Yep, that sounds good." And on to the next one. But were they agreeing... or did nobody ever tell them they get a say? In this episode Nicole looks at a question most of us spend almost no time on: who actually decides what we work on? She shares a small study of occupational therapists that held up an uncomfortable mirror, a story about a script she couldn't decode (and a mom who could), and an admission about parent coaching that a lot of us will recognize. Then she gets practical about bringing families in before the goal is written, and what to do when the questionnaire never comes back.
