The document describes a framework for building inclusion using outcomes that matter. It involves developing individualized therapeutic programs and inclusive achievement profiles based on comprehensive ecological assessments and agreed upon outcomes. The framework focuses on relational outcomes in key areas like belonging, mastery, independence, and generosity. Profiles track individuals' progress across environments through narratives capturing strengths and opportunities. The goal is more targeted, inclusive recording to facilitate communication and reflective discussions.

child
6. Sense of Belonging: attachment, identity, trust
Sense of Mastery: motivation, competence, self

7. Based on Bronfenbrenner’s ecological
framework, considering the interrelationship
between the individual and the environment.
Assessment focuses on how someone views
the ‘world’ as well as how the ‘world’ views
them and most importantly how the two
interact.
8. Focus on relational ‘moments’ rather than
standardised outcomes
Narratives that capture relational accounts of
what is going on between an individual and
their carers.
Looking for both strengths and
environmental opportunities
