Shave on planned days from a calendar
When to use this goal
For older students who can shave with an electric razor but forget or skip it, and who want to keep the look they and their family chose. Present levels in using a calendar or phone reminder decide fit, not grade.
- Baseline
- Ask the family and student to track planned shaving days for two weeks. Count how many planned days the student shaved without being told. Agree with the student on how often they want to shave.
- Tips
- The student decides how often to shave, or whether to grow a beard or other facial hair; the goal supports their choice. Pair with fn-dl-050 for the shaving steps. Keep the conversation private and matter-of-fact.
- Limits
- Depends on the family's report. The goal measures starting the routine on time, not the quality of the shave.
