Which step follows the assessment of needs in creating a support plan?

After assessing needs, the next logical step in creating a support plan is the implementation of strategies. This phase involves translating the insights gained from the assessment into actionable steps that can assist the student. By identifying specific needs and determining appropriate interventions, social workers can apply tailored strategies aimed at addressing those needs effectively.

Implementation requires collaboration among school staff, parents, and possibly outside agencies to ensure that the support plan is executed properly. This stage is crucial as it puts theory into practice, aiming to improve the student’s situation through concrete actions.

While collecting parental consent is important, it typically occurs before or during the development of the support plan rather than after needs assessment. Evaluating previous plans and setting new school-wide policies are also more extensive processes and do not directly follow the individual assessment. Thus, the focus remains on executing the strategies identified to support the student’s unique needs.
