- Phase 2 - Outcome planning and structured intervention design: Assessment results are translated into a coordinated plan linked to personal goals. Focus is placed on improving participation, adjusting routines, and addressing barriers across home and community settings.
- Phase 3 - Practical implementation and capability building: Support is delivered through real world task practice and guided strategies. Skill development targets everyday activities, use of recommended tools, and increased independence through repetition and support.
- Phase 4 - Review cycles and adaptive planning: Progress is tracked through scheduled follow ups and functional reassessment. Plans are refined based on changes in ability and progress to maintain alignment with goals and sustained functional improvement.
