When to use this goal

For older students who want to wear make-up and whose family supports it, and who need a short sequence to follow on their own. Present levels in fine motor control near the face and in following a picture sequence decide fit. Wearing make-up is entirely the student's choice.

Baseline
Ask the student which products and look they want, and ask the family to record 3 routines. Count only steps done without help, and note where smudging or order breaks down.
Tips
The student chooses the products and the look; adapt the steps to their own routine. Keep the routine short and teach removal at night as well. Never use make-up as a reward or tie it to a judgment about appearance.
Limits
Data mostly comes from home. Students with skin sensitivities or allergies need the family's product choices. Not every student wants this, and the goal fits only when they do.

  • 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.
