Question

goals are statements of:

• how things could be
• recommendations by the treatment team
• problems that need correcting
• a prognosis for the person receiving services

Explanation:

Define the nature of goals in treatment planning

In person-centered treatment planning (such as KDADS CBS-CSS services), goals represent the desired future state or outcomes envisioned by the individual receiving services. They describe "how things could be" rather than focusing strictly on deficits, problems, or clinical recommendations.

Evaluate the given options

• "How things could be" aligns with the forward-looking, aspirational, and person-centered definition of a goal.
• "Recommendations by the Treatment Team" describes clinical suggestions, not the goals themselves.
• "Problems that need correcting" refers to needs or problem statements, which are distinct from goals.
• "A prognosis for the person receiving services" is a clinical forecast of the course of a condition, not a goal.

Answer:

• How things could be (Correct answer)
• Recommendations by the Treatment Team
• Problems that need correcting
• A prognosis for the person receiving services
