Ask for a repeat when something was missed
When to use this goal
For students who are deaf or hard of hearing and nod along or guess when they miss what was said. Present levels in noticing a missed message decide fit; signing students may ask the teacher or interpreter.
- Baseline
- Plan five missed-message moments (a quiet direction, a turned face) and record whether the student asks, guesses, or does nothing. Notice nodding without action.
- Tips
- Teach that asking is smart, not a failure. Teachers should respond kindly every time; a rolled eye stops the skill.
- Limits
- The goal measures asking, not understanding the repeat. Noise and poor room acoustics are adult problems to fix too. Hearing technology is one access route the family and student chose; it does not replace sign language, captions, or other visual access where the student uses them.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, during whole-group and small-group lessons when the student misses a direction or a question, the student will ask the speaker to repeat or say it another way, in speech or sign independently in at least 4 of 5 opportunities, across 3 consecutive sessions, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected twice weekly.
Baseline: 1 of 5 opportunities.

Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.

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. Opportunity (trial) recording gives opportunities data.
Met: Review timeframe. Stated.

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.
