Put work materials in their labeled bins
When to use this goal
For students with significant support needs who leave materials scattered after work and wait for staff to put them away. Labels should match how the student reads: words, photos, or symbols. Present levels, not grade, decide the number of bins; keep labels age-matched.
- Baseline
- Count each item to put away as an opportunity over several sessions. Record the prompt level for each: independent, point, or physical help.
- Tips
- Use a least-to-most prompt order. Keep the bins in the same place every day. As the student gets faster, add bins or mixed materials.
- Limits
- Measures putting away, not getting out. New materials will need new labels and practice.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, at the end of a work session at the student's work area with labeled bins, the student will place each material in the bin with its matching label independently in at least 7 of 8 opportunities, on 4 of 5 consecutive school days, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected daily.
Baseline: 2 of 8 opportunities.

- Record up to 8 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.
