What does lack of session preparation often lead to?

Lack of session preparation often leads to increased confusion during sessions for several reasons. When a practitioner fails to prepare adequately, they may not have a clear understanding of the goals and objectives for the session, which can result in disorganization and a lack of focused activities. As a result, both the practitioner and the client may struggle to maintain attention and clarity during the session.

Confusion can also arise from the absence of structured routines or planned interventions, making it difficult for both the practitioner and the client to follow the session flow. In many cases, inadequate preparation can leave the practitioner unsure of how to guide the session, leading to missed opportunities for reinforcing learning and responding appropriately to the client's needs. Consistent preparation is vital for effective communication, engagement, and ultimately, the success of the intervention strategy.
