In the course of Phase 8 - Determine Adaptive Supports And Needed Skills for Travel, the team developed ways to help Nick be a more independent shopper. They took each discrepant step, came up with a specific solution and then proceeded on to Phase 9.

In Phase 9 - Develop a Travel Plan, the team described Nick's support modifications and strategies. The travel plan sketched out what, when, where and how the activity would unfold. It also identified how often the team intended to measure Nick's progress. Once the travel plan was outlined, the team proceeded on to Phase 10 - Implement the Travel Plan and Assess Progress.
