| |
Collect data in an on-going basis and plot data on graphs | |
| |
| |
Construct clear benchmarks to know when the results are (or are not) successful | |
| |
| |
Engage the client in determining if the client's goals have been attained during intervention | |
| |
| |
Introduce a maintenance phase in which the client is in complete control of the intervention on his/her own | |
