2. Determine if the client is functioning at his/her highest possible level;
3. Identify conditions (barriers) which hinder maintenance or improvement in the client's present level of functioning;
4. Determine which available services, if any, will remove or over-come the barriers to maintaining or improving the present level of functioning; and
5. Develop a plan for delivery of specific services directed at removing specific barriers to enable the client to maintain or attain his/her goal.
