Redress in the restroom stall within a set time
When to use this goal
For students who manage their clothing after toileting without help but spend a long time in the stall pulling up, tucking, and fastening, so they miss class time. Base the choice on the student's toileting plan and timed data. Present levels and the OT's observation of the routine, not grade or age, decide whether this template fits.
- Baseline
- Time from the flush to the stall door opening on at least 5 trips, from outside the stall. Keep the log private and coded, and agree on the timing method with the family first.
- Tips
- Time only from the flush, not the whole trip, so the goal stays about clothing. Elastic waists and pull rings on zippers are fair supports. Keep timing discreet; never time through the door in a way peers can see.
- Limits
- Time can rise for reasons that have nothing to do with clothing, such as stomach upset. Not for students who still need help with fasteners; use a task-analysis goal for that.
