    1. progress they've made since evaluation day

      if you use the word "even", it implies a comparison with something else, so it needs to be followed by the clause beginning with the word "than". Try to rework this sentence.

      This is a very generic statement. Can you rather provide a specific example of something that happened on FW, to illustrate this point?

      I am not sure this example is relevant to the criterion of providing constructive and timely feedback. Please provide a more appropriate example.

    1. Frame of Reference

      Here, as well as on the previous page, you don't need to capitalize Frame of Reference. Just the actual one by name (e.g., Rehabilitative, Biomechanical, Developmental, etc.)

    1. um, I

      I found (remove the word "have")

      I am still worried that this sentence comes across as unintentionally accusatory. What I hear when I read this, is that you didn't see the FOR being used. However, Pamela, that doesn't mean that they weren't being used. Perhaps the therapist weren't explicit about it, but I am pretty confident they knew what they were doing--and had a goal in mind. Remember, the Biomechanical FoR seeks improvements in physical functions (ROM, strength, etc.) and the Rehabilitative FoR seeks improvements in ability to engage in occupations. I have no doubt that the therapists were working towards those ends. There must be a better way you can phrase this. I made a suggestion previously.

    2. ssion.
