The long-term outcomes and impacts of services provided to people with disabilities, as measured by key indicators, can include:
1. Improved functional independence: Services that enhance functional abilities and promote independence can lead to long-term outcomes such as improved mobility, self-care skills, communication abilities, and overall functional independence. Key indicators for measuring this outcome may include assessments of activities of daily living, mobility, and communication skills.
2. Enhanced quality of life: Services that address the holistic well-being of individuals with disabilities can have a significant impact on their overall quality of life. Indicators for measuring this outcome may include assessments of subjective well-being, social relationships, community participation, access to meaningful employment or education, and overall life satisfaction.
3. Increased inclusion and participation: Effective services can contribute to increased inclusion and participation of individuals with disabilities in various aspects of society. Key indicators for measuring this outcome may include indicators related to community engagement, employment rates, educational attainment, social connections, and access to recreational and cultural activities.
4. Empowerment and self-advocacy: Services that promote empowerment and self-advocacy can have long-term impacts on individuals with disabilities. Key indicators for measuring this outcome may include indicators related to self-determination, self-advocacy skills, decision-making abilities, and the ability to actively participate in decision-making processes affecting their lives.
5. Reduced disparities and inequities: Services that address disparities and inequities can lead to long-term impacts in reducing barriers and achieving more equitable outcomes for individuals with disabilities. Key indicators for measuring this outcome may include indicators related to access to services, health outcomes, educational attainment, employment rates, and social inclusion across diverse demographic groups within the disability community.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
