A short-term goal is a goal that is designed to be completed in a short period of time. Typically, short-term goals span a few days or a few weeks and never last longer than six months. Long-term goals span longer periods of time and can take six months or longer to complete.
Short-Term and Long-Term Goals Goals may be either short-term or long-term, depending on the length of time you think it will take for the client to achieve the specified behavior. Short-term goals identify outcomes that can be achieved within a few days or a few hours. Goals dealing with survival needs may even be stated in terms of minutes.
