Dictate a journal sentence with voice typing
When to use this goal
For young writers whose ideas run ahead of their handwriting or spelling, and who are starting voice typing. Present levels in oral sentence formation and speech clarity decide fit.
- Baseline
- Collect three dictated journal entries and compare the screen text with what the student meant. Note errors from mumbling, speaking too fast, or background noise.
- Tips
- Teach speaking in short phrases and pausing. A quieter spot or a headset microphone helps in busy rooms.
- Limits
- Voice typing accuracy depends on speech clarity and noise; students with speech sound needs may need another tool. The AT specialist and team choose the tool from an AT assessment and trial data; the template measures what the student does with it, not the tool's quality.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, during journal writing, given a tablet with voice typing turned on and a picture prompt, the student will press the microphone, say a sentence clearly in phrases, stop the microphone, and check the words on the screen independently with at least 85% accuracy on dictated words transcribed as intended, in 3 of 4 consecutive weekly writing samples, as measured by work-sample analysis collected weekly.
Baseline: 50% accuracy.

- Score only items the student attempted unless the goal defines a fixed set of items. Use the same denominator every session.
- Percent = numerator ÷ denominator × 100. Round to one decimal place.
- Record the support actually provided, even if the goal is independent performance.
