When to use this goal

For students who wear glasses but leave them smudged, wear them crooked, or leave them on desks. Fit depends on present levels in handling small objects and on the family's and eye care provider's directions; this is a care routine, not a vision goal.

Baseline
Observe the routine on at least 3 typical days before setting a target. Mark each step as independent (no adult prompt of any kind), completed with support (note the prompt type), or not completed. Count only independent steps toward the baseline, and note which steps are missed most often; those may need direct teaching rather than more practice. Record whether the glasses were in the case at arrival; missing glasses may be a home routine issue to plan with the family.
Tips
Use only the cloth and spray the eye care provider recommends. A strap or band can keep glasses on during PE. Students with low vision supports should involve the vision teacher.
Limits
Does not measure wearing the glasses through the day. Broken or poorly fitted frames need a family or provider fix, not more practice.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, at arrival each morning, with a glasses case and a cleaning cloth in the backpack, the student will clean both lenses with the cloth, put the glasses on with both hands, and store the case, performing all 5 steps independently, on 4 of 5 consecutive school days, as measured by a task-analysis checklist collected daily at arrival.

Baseline: 2 of 5 steps independently.

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

  • Met: Condition. Stated.

  • Met: Unit fits the behavior. Task-analysis steps fits this behavior.

  • Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.

  • Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.

  • Met: Method produces the metric. Task-analysis checklist gives task-analysis steps 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 Daily Living Skills.

  • 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?
