Introduction: Goal setting allows for meaningful activities to be planned for individuals to promote quality of life (QoL), within the context of person‐centred planning (PCP). It can be difficult to promote the QoL of individuals with severe/profound intellectual disabilities (ID). Staffs ability to interpret the persons will and preference to inform the process can be limited in the absence of a consistent yes/no response. There has been limited research into the goal setting process for people with severe/profound ID and and inconsistent yes/no response.
