Describe a goal attainment scale
A goal attainment scale is used to quantify success in meeting a goal. The scale can be developed collaboratively with a client. A range of values are assigned to possible results, from a score of +2 for a most favorable result to a 2 for a least favorable outcome. A score of 0 represents the anticipated level of performance. This type of rating system is particularly useful for providing outcome results to funding agencies or for supplying useable numerical scores to determine levels of change for statistical analysis. The graduated level of desired outcomes has the added advantage of allowing success at several levels of performance.
