The scales can be completed in any order, though your agency may decide an order. Otherwise, you can choose where feels most natural to start with each service user. This may be an area the service user is keen to talk about or has already discussed with you. We do not recommend starting with the first scale ‘Motivation and Taking Responsibility’ as this is less concrete than others and can be harder to explain.

You can choose to complete the Star Chart during more than one session if that works better for some clients.
