Final Comments on PASS

Interval Steps/Milestones
The PASS must incorporate milestones and corresponding timeframes leading to attainment of the occupational objective. These demonstrate the person's progress toward achieving the goal and should be described sufficiently so that completion of steps are readily discernible. Milestones are best documented using criterion-based statements. This would also include the interval steps related to actually securing a job as stated in the occupational objective.

Definable Timeframe
Specific time frames must be established for the PASS. Schedules must be provided for meeting the vocational goals which indicate the month and year that it is expected to begin and end. The time allotted must be reasonable relating to the goal and reflect the person's estimated time for completing the goal.
