Select answers through a keyguard
When to use this goal
For students with motor needs who hit the wrong spot or several spots on a touch screen. Present levels from the OT and AT specialist decide the keyguard, button size, and touch settings.
- Baseline
- Ask the student to touch named buttons 20 times and record hits on the intended button versus misses or double hits. Test with and without the keyguard.
- Tips
- This measures access, not the content of the answer. Separate motor errors from wrong answers on the data sheet.
- Limits
- Fatigue and positioning affect accuracy; record seating. 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, given a tablet with a keyguard and touch accommodations set, during a learning app activity with 4 to 6 answer buttons, the student will touch the chosen answer button once through the keyguard independently with at least 90% accuracy on intended buttons selected, in 3 of 4 consecutive weekly probes, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data 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.
