40. By documenting the supports we provide, we can learn if what we are doing is bringing about the desired outcome or if supports need to change. Part 3: Shared Planning

41. How do we know if our supports lead to the desired outcome? From evidence we can see or hear and report. From evidence that the outcome happened. From evidence based on what the person says or does. Part 3: Shared Planning

42. We are looking for evidence that the desired outcome has occurred or if we can see movement toward the outcome. Desired outcome Jack makes five new friends who like Jazz music. Evidence of progress Jack joined a jazz club this quarter and went four times. He was introduced to several new people. Part 3: Shared Planning

43. If no evidence of progress towards the desired outcome, changing the supports or the outcome can improve how we support people. Desired outcome Jack makes five new friends who like Jazz music. Lack of evidence Jack threw away his Jazz CDs and says he does not want to talk about it. Part 3: Shared Planning

44. We also need to know if the outcome, once achieved, is still desired by the individual to know if support should continue. Part 3: Shared Planning

45. Remember - we are seeking to help people build a quality life of their choosing. We are helping them assemble a desirable life. Part 3: Shared Planning
