Use AT tools to do job tasks
When to use this goal
For students 16 to 21 in work experiences who use AT (text-to-speech for instructions, task apps with pictures or audio, speech-to-text for logs) on the job. Present levels in AT use at school decide fit.
- Baseline
- Observe six reading or writing moments on a shift and record whether the student used AT and finished the task.
- Tips
- Use tools the student can keep using after school (phone features, free apps). Talk with the employer about device use on the job.
- Limits
- Employer rules may limit phone use. 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 a job site or school-based job, when a task needs reading or writing (such as reading a work order or logging hours), the student will use their AT tool to read or write what the task needs and complete the task independently in at least 5 of 6 opportunities, across 3 consecutive work shifts, as measured by direct observation collected each work shift.
Baseline: 2 of 6 opportunities.

Measurability check11 of 11 met
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. Direct observation 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 6 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.
