A review of goal setting theories relevant to goal setting in paediatric rehabilitation.

CONCLUSION: The theories reviewed have clear implications for paediatric rehabilitation research and practice. They address considerations not typically discussed in adult rehabilitation such as observing children to obtain information about meaningful goals when they are unable to communicate them directly and the importance of establishing flexible processes that will accommodate changing family roles over time. Research is needed to evaluate the effects of goal-setting processes and strategies on outcomes in paediatric rehabilitation. PMID: 31072123 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
