What type of goals should the SSP include?

Clear, specific, and achievable goals within the one-year plan guide real, measurable progress. When goals are concrete, they spell out exactly what will be done, by whom, and by when, often with criteria to show progress. This makes it possible to track outcomes, adjust supports as needed, and demonstrate the impact of the SSP. Vague, long-term goals lack the detail needed to measure success, making progress hard to assess. Focusing only on financial aims misses the broader outcomes the SSP aims to support, like skills, independence, and quality of life. Goals that aren’t realistic set people up for frustration and failure, undermining motivation and trust in the process.
