Personal Outcome Measures®

 

CQL has revised and reformatted the 2005 edition of the Personal Outcome Measures® into the following factors:

 

My Self: Who I am as a result of my unique heredity, life experiences and decisions.

My World: Where I work, live, socialize, belong or connect.

My Dreams: How I want my life (self and world) to be.

 

Personal Outcome Measures® focus on the choices people have in their lives. CQL Canada emphasizes emergence and new opportunities for tomorrow that occur for all people. This means that for all of us there is a possibility of choices and opportunities that did not exist yesterday and cannot be predicted for tomorrow.

 

The Personal Outcome Measures® are a powerful tool for evaluating personal quality of life and the degree to which organizations individualize supports to facilitate outcomes. People define outcomes for themselves. The outcomes are non-prescriptive; they have no norms.
