Intervention planning. Setting the goal and objectives for the intervention. Evaluation of resources and alternatives. Establishment of an inter-institutional and inter-professional team. Intervention evaluation: assessment of the client’s changes and achievements, feedback from the client, reporting to the client, assessment of the ability and skills of the independent social functioning of the client. Supervision.
