In this episode, Jackie, Caitlyn and Mikayla explore how clinicians can work collaboratively with families to unpack their priorities and define what meaningful progress looks like for them. They discuss the importance of having a clear therapy plan while maintaining flexibility to pivot when needed, the risks of therapy progressing without a clear direction, and how short-term goals can be structured within a broader therapy framework.

The conversation also reflects on real examples from practice, how their service’s approach to therapy planning has evolved, and key insights about goal setting that families may not always realise.

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people as the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and live here in Mitcham, Victoria. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, and recognize their ongoing connection to the land, waterways, and culture. As we support children and families, we are inspired by the wisdom and care that First Nations peoples have shown for generations.
