Indicators for service evaluation can indeed differ across different types of disabilities due to the unique needs and characteristics associated with each disability. Here is an overview of how indicators may vary across different types of disabilities:
1. Functional abilities: Indicators for physical disabilities may focus on assessing functional abilities, such as mobility, dexterity, and independence in activities of daily living. Evaluating the effectiveness of services in improving or maintaining physical functioning can be a key indicator for this group.
2. Accessibility and adaptations: Indicators for sensory disabilities, such as visual or hearing impairments, may emphasize accessibility and adaptations. Evaluating the availability and effectiveness of accommodations, assistive technologies, and communication supports can be important indicators to ensure equal access and inclusion.
3. Communication and cognitive skills: Indicators for cognitive disabilities may center around communication and cognitive skills development. Assessing progress in areas such as language acquisition, problem-solving abilities, decision-making, and self-determination can be key indicators for evaluating the impact of services.
4. Sensory stimulation and integration: Indicators for individuals with sensory processing disorders may focus on sensory stimulation and integration. Evaluating the effectiveness of sensory-based interventions, sensory diets, or environmental modifications to support sensory regulation can be important indicators for this population.
5. Social inclusion and community integration: Indicators for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities may emphasize social inclusion and community integration. Evaluating the extent to which services facilitate participation in community activities, development of social relationships, and access to employment or educational opportunities can be key indicators for this group.

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?
