How to decide what questionnaires to use

Get curious, ask clients, families, clinicians:

  • If we see Joe client in a year, what does success look like?
  • What do you think needs to change for our clients?
  • Which staff can we learn from; which staff need training?
  • What elements of our program have the most impact?

Why should you use measurement questionnaires?

  • Demonstrate impact of treatment.
  • Validate treatment approach.
  • Plan for professional development.
  • Make evaluation-informed program decisions.
  • Understand client profiles.

After deciding what data you are trying to gather, you can review our Questionnaire Library to choose from our list of available questionnaires.
