Finish written work with speech-to-text
When to use this goal
For students whose written assignments stay unfinished because handwriting or typing is slow, even though their ideas are ready. Present levels and the IEP's assistive technology, not grade, decide fit.
- Baseline
- For two weeks, compare the percent of written assignments finished with and without speech-to-text. Note whether unfinished work stops at the start, the middle, or the editing stage.
- Tips
- Teach and practice the tool before measuring (punctuation commands, fixing misheard words). A quiet corner or headset microphone improves accuracy. Count an assignment as finished when every part is answered and the text has been read back and fixed.
- Limits
- Not every setting allows speaking aloud, such as some tests or quiet rooms. Does not measure writing quality; pair with a written expression goal if that is also a need.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, during written assignments in class with speech-to-text on a device, the student will dictate and edit written assignments with speech-to-text independently, completing at least 85% of assigned written assignments, across 3 consecutive weeks, as measured by work-sample analysis collected weekly.
Baseline: 40% of assigned work.

Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.
Met: Condition. Stated.
Met: Unit fits the behavior. Work completion 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 work completion 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 Assignment Completion.
Met: Level of support. Defined.

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 how many assigned items were completed and how many were assigned for the defined work period.
- Percent = numerator ÷ denominator × 100. Round to one decimal place.
- Record the support actually provided, even if the goal is independent performance.
