This paper critically reviews the literature related to outcome research, staff training and management goal planning, primarily for adults with a mental handicap. The outcome literature indicates highly varying outcomes associated with goal planning to increase skills acquisition. No experimental studies were identified which attempted to evaluate goal planning procedures to increase the diversity of opportunities and change people's lifestyle. The quality of this outcome literature was rather disappointing. There were few studies which included control groups, placebo conditions, comparison intervention procedures, social validation or follow‐up data. Staff training in goal planning has received considerable attention. However, many studies have focussed only on staff keeping documentation rather than on staff teaching skills. Staff training methods which include an in vivo training component and a planned maintenance procedure show considerable promise. Areas for the future development of goal planning are discussed.

“…However, an IPP procedure does not in itself guarantee success and it is important to draw on a wider body of knowledge about the client ( Greasley 1995). Evalu‐ ation studies of the effectiveness of IPPs highlight some common problems ( Fleming 1985, 1988; Humphreys & Blunden 1987; Dunne & O'Regan 1990; Wright & Moffat 1992). These problems include the commitment of professionals, staff problems leading to the setting of ambiguous goals and difficulties evaluating the outcomes of previously set goals.…”

“…However, what constitutes client participation and how can it be increased? Some studies have referred to client attendance at meetings as an indication of client participation ( Humphreys & Blunden 1987; De Kock et al . 1988 ; Dunne & O'Regan 1990; Dunne et al .…”

“…Studies have attempted to address the issues surrounding clients' lack of participation at IPP meetings. Humphreys & Blunden (1987) showed that staff exhibited a mixture of feelings about client needs and their role at an IPP meeting. The above authors discovered that clients contributed the least amount at meetings.…”

“…The above authors discovered that clients contributed the least amount at meetings. Humphreys & Blunden (1987) attributed this to a ‘conflict between two sets of aims which coexist in the IPP, client‐related and service‐related aims. The latter puts emphasis upon administration issues.…”

Measuring client participation in individual programme planning meetings

Summary Clients should participate in their individual programme planning (IPP) meetings, but the question is: Do they? It would help staff in supporting their clients if a simple method were available for measuring client participation. The present article describes the development of such a method and its use with one client in a routine IPP meeting. An IPP participation checklist (IPPPC) was developed to assess the participation of one client, Mr B, who has limited verbal communication skills, at his IPP meeting. A questionnaire for staff was also devised to gauge their perceptions of Mr B's participation at the same meeting. Mr B actively participated in much of the meeting; the IPPPC highlighted areas in which he did not participate. Staff members' ratings of his participation were in close agreement. Client attendance at a meeting does not guarantee active participation. The IPPPC shows how far the client has participated in specific aspects of a meeting. It may be possible to increase client participation by the introduction of keyworker meetings, management support and IPP guidelines. The regular use of the IPPPC described in the present paper will guide staff in what to look for when assessing participation and may be especially valuable during staff training.

Data were collected from documentation from an annual IPP system on the technical adequacy of goals set and subsequently achieved. Goal characteristics coded included functionality of goal set (natural environment, natural materials, and age-appropriateness), ideological characteristics (community presence, choices and decisions, maintaining and developing competence, positive social role, and community participation), behavioral technical adequacy (named person responsible, achievement date, and stated in measurable terms), and curriculum domain. Multiple regression analysis revealed that goals that were written in a technically correct fashion and that involved functional skills were more likely to be achieved. A greater variety of life goals predicted fewer goals being achieved.Setting goals for persons with developmental disabilities and staff who work with them has become an integral part of services. Goal setting is commonly used as part of a multidisciplinary Individual Program Plan (Chamberlain, 1985a,b;Blunden, Evans, & Humphreys, 1987;Sturmey, 1992) and is also a characteristic element in behavioral programs. Training staff to set and write goals has become a common area for applied research (Page et al., 1981;Sturmey, Newton, & Crisp, 1988a).The evaluation of goal planning has investigated a number of characteristics of goals that might contribute to effective programing, or which might be ideologically desirable. Goals have been classified as to the curricular domain into which they fall (De Kock, Saxby, Felce, Thomas, & Jenkins, 1988; Flemming, 1985Flemming, , 1988Jacobson, 1987;Laws, Bolt, & Gibbs, 1988;Lowe & De Paiva). The quality of goals has also been classified as to the functionality of the goal set, materials and setting used (Brown et al
