Description

Week seven is an asynchronous week, during which we will focus on learning about treatment planning and documentation. We don’t have reading from the textbook, but I have several supplementary sources for you to review on how we engage in treatment planning from a person-centered perspective (Mancini, 2021). The ethical (Reamer, 2005) and practical considerations (Bodek, 2010) are explored. A specific focus on SOAP Notes from Cameron and Turtle-Song (2002) is also shared. There are forums for students to reflect on the content, share examples of notes and goals that you might have with clients in your practicum setting, and consider technology and other ethical considerations. My lecture video shares an example of a treatment plan and discusses how it is implemented into practice. The agenda for the lecture video includes:

  • Week Seven Activities
  • Basics of Service Plan Creation
  • Example of a Treatment Plan

The Learning objectives for this week include:

  • Develop an understanding of how a treatment plan is used in practice
  • Identify the components of a treatment plan and learn from a practical example
  • Demonstrate the ability to write a SMAARRT goal and a SOAP note
  • Reflect on the ethics around documentation
