Show thumbs up or down after cleanup
When to use this goal
For preschoolers who are learning a cleanup routine and can show a thumbs up, thumbs down, or point to a happy or unhappy picture. Present levels decide whether the child rates with a gesture, a picture, or words.
- Baseline
- For one week, ask the rating question after each cleanup and record whether the child's rating matched what the adult saw. Also record whether the child finished the area after a not-done rating. Confirm the child uses thumbs or pictures in other contexts.
- Tips
- Met means the rating matches the adult's view and, if the rating is not done, the child finishes the area. Praise honest not-done ratings as much as done ratings. Any response mode the child uses (sign, picture, word, device) counts.
- Limits
- Very young children may copy the adult's facial expression; keep a neutral face while asking. Does not measure how long cleanup takes.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, at the end of cleanup time, when an adult asks did you put it all away and shows the picture of a clean center, the student will rate the cleanup with a thumbs up or down, or by touching a picture, to match the adult's view, and finish any part still undone independently in at least 4 of 5 opportunities, across 3 consecutive weeks of data, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected daily during cleanup, summarized weekly.
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.
