Ask to use AT in a new class
When to use this goal
For students who use AT in some classes but not in a new class, elective, or with a new teacher, because they do not ask. Present levels in self-advocacy decide fit.
- Baseline
- At a term start, list the student's classes and record which teachers know about the AT and who told them.
- Tips
- Teachers must honor AT in the IEP; this goal adds the student's voice and prepares for college, where students request their own tools.
- Limits
- The goal does not shift the school's duty to provide AT. 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, at the start of a new class, elective, or term with a teacher who has not seen the student's AT, the student will tell the teacher which AT they use, what it is for, and ask to use it for the task independently in at least 4 of 5 opportunities, across 2 consecutive grading periods, as measured by frequency recording collected monthly.
Baseline: 1 of 5 opportunities.

Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.
Met: Condition. Stated.
Met: Unit fits the behavior. Opportunities fits this behavior.
Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.
Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.
Met: Method produces the metric. Frequency (event) recording gives opportunities data.
Met: Review timeframe. Stated.
Met: Baseline and target compatible. Same unit, change in the right direction.
Met: Aligned with area of need. Still about Assistive Technology Use.
Met: Level of support. Defined.
Met: Blanks filled in. Nothing left to fill in.
Checks structure and wording only. Whether the goal fits the student is the team's call.
Short-term objectives (optional)
When are objectives required?Required for students on alternate assessments (34 CFR §300.320(a)(2)(ii)); some states require them for everyone.

- Record up to 5 opportunities per session, matching the goal's denominator.
- Define in advance what counts as an opportunity so every data collector records the same thing.
- Count only + marks toward the criterion unless the goal specifies prompted responses.
