This manual should serve as a reference when completing and determining levels of attainment on the Goal Attainment Scale (GAS) chart. GAS is an individualized approach for establishing and measuring the attainment of goals/objectives for people with varying levels of disability and support needs. Each chart includes one goal/objective and establishes a range of criteria to measure and reports on outcomes.

This is the QSR template providers should use when writing QSRs. It is revised to capture GAS components.

These are the templates to use when creating GAS charts. It is strongly recommended that all providers make a good effort to use the Microsoft Excel version, which has guidance embedded in each chart. The Microsoft Word version should be used only when unable to access the Excel version.
