The Adolescent/Adult Goal Setting Tool (AAGST) is a person-centred planning resource developed by Autism Queensland (AQ) to help autistic people identify, prioritise, and communicate their goals and take lead in shaping their own lives.
The award-winning AAGST is a person-centred planning resource developed in collaboration with researchers and autistic people, to help autistic and other neurodivergent adolescents and adults actively engage in planning and goal setting. Using illustrated and categorised cards, the tool helps autistic people explore what matters to them, identify their goals, and communicate what they want to work towards.
Whether it’s building independence, finding employment, developing relationships, or becoming more involved in the community, the AAGST puts the person’s own priorities at the centre of the conversation. It gives families and professionals a practical way to move beyond assumptions about what someone needs and focus on what they actually want, supporting more meaningful, personalised goals and greater autonomy.
The tool is designed for use across a variety of settings to support autistic and neurodivergent adolescents and adults identify and work towards their goals. It can be used by therapists and other allied health professionals, educators, families/carers, support coordinators, disability support workers, employment consultants, other service providers, or individuals themselves.
