3. Assess your work with the client that includes evidence of outcomes. Note that this should be in line with the assessment and evaluation table presented in the client service plan.  How have you with your client evaluated goal achievement?

4. Review next steps with this client if the work has not concluded based on what has worked and what you want to do differently. Reference literature that supports these reflections. OR
