Well-written vs. vague goals
Use the participant’s own words where possible. The goal name should match (or closely paraphrase) the goal as written in the NDIS plan document. Vague goal (avoid):Improve wellbeingWell-written goal:
I want to improve my mental health and wellbeing by building daily routines and connecting with my communityThe well-written version is specific enough for an NDIA planner to assess whether funded supports have contributed to the outcome.
