When to use this goal

For students with low vision who miss items on busy pages because they search at random. Present levels in finding targets on a page decide the page layout to start with.

Baseline
Give two pages with known targets and count how many are found. Note whether misses cluster on one side or at the bottom, which may point to a field loss.
Tips
The denominator is the number of targets on the page. Teach the pattern with the same words each time (start top left, go across, drop down).
Limits
Busy page design can defeat any strategy; ask for cleaner layouts as an accommodation as well. The template does not test acuity.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, given a worksheet with 10 target pictures or words scattered among other items, in the student's preferred print size, the student will scan the page left to right and top to bottom and mark each target independently with at least 90% accuracy on targets found on the page, in 3 of 4 consecutive weekly probes, as measured by work-sample analysis collected weekly.

Baseline: 50% accuracy.

Measurability check11 of 11 met
  • Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.

  • Met: Condition. Stated.

  • Met: Unit fits the behavior. Percent accuracy fits this behavior.

  • Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.

  • Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.

  • Met: Method produces the metric. Work-sample analysis gives percent accuracy 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 Low Vision & Visual Efficiency.

  • 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.
