Dynamic approach

Goal setting should be a dynamic process that is reviewed across the continuum of care in order to reflect the client/family context, wishes and language recovery.

Reference: Hersh et al, 2012
NHMRC level of Evidence: Qual

Rationale: Goals change with time - as language recovery occurs, as people become familiar with the realities of rehabilitation, and as they encounter the challenges of living life with aphasia (Hersh et al., 2012).
