Offer a trade to get a peer's item
When to use this goal
For young students who grab items from peers, and whose FBA shows access to those items. Fit depends on the FBA and on play and language present levels, not grade. A trade gives the peer a reason to say yes.
- Baseline
- Record five times the student wanted a peer's item: grabbed, asked, traded, or waited. Note which items; duplicates of the most wanted items can reduce conflicts while the skill is taught.
- Tips
- Coach peers to answer kindly, yes or no. When the peer says no, the student needs a next step (waiting, another item), so pair with bh-rep-016. Praise the offer whatever the answer.
- Limits
- Depends on peers; a refused trade is still a success for the student. Grabbing out of adult view is not counted.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, during free play or centers when a peer has an item the student wants, the student will offer a trade ("want to trade?" while holding out another item) and accept the peer's answer independently in at least 4 of 5 opportunities, on 4 of 5 observed days, as measured by direct observation collected during free play or centers daily.
Baseline: 1 of 5 opportunities.

- 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.
