Abstract

Date Presented 04/06/19

The aim of this research was to improve the quality of the goal attainment scales (GAS) developed for clients with developmental disabilities. This research focused on providing feedback to therapists based on generally accepted criteria for GAS. These findings will be useful in training and providing guidance for therapists in writing GAS for their clients.
