Writing about Quality of Life
Caregivers spend valuable time documenting and writing about their interactions with the Individuals they serve. Choosing which words to use is very important to the overall meaning of what is written. This can be a challenging task, especially when dealing with difficult behaviors or situations. Therefore, it is important to focus on the positive aspects of a person’s day, while at the same time, constructively noting improvements that can be worked on in that person’s quality of life. Caregivers document their daily activities with the Individuals they serve on the Daily Quality of Life Sheet. To learn about this process, view the Daily QoL Guide (Student Manual; Teacher Manual). For more information, see the Writing about Quality of Life Guide (Student Manual; Teacher Manual), which explains how to write about the events that took place while caregiving. Also view the Word Choice Guide (Student Manual; Teacher Manual), which helps a caregiver practice writing narratives using specific quality of life words. Finally, view the list of Quality of Life words that can be helpful when writing narratives. |
