Check store hours before a trip
When to use this goal
For students who plan trips with staff and arrive at closed places, or who cannot tell if a store is open. Present levels in telling time and reading days of the week decide fit; hours may come from a door sign or a map app.
- Baseline
- Use 8 hours listings or signs with a given time. Score whether the open or closed answer and the closing time were both right.
- Tips
- Teach a.m. and p.m. and day ranges (Mon to Fri). Map apps show open now; teach reading the full hours too, because apps can be wrong. Link to trip planning in transition goals.
- Limits
- Holiday hours vary. Does not measure travel time to get there before closing (see fn-fa-066).

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, during a community trip, given a store's posted hours and the current time and day, the student will read the posted hours and say whether the place is open now and when it closes independently in at least 7 of 8 opportunities, across 3 consecutive weekly sessions, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected weekly, during trip planning or community trips.
Baseline: 2 of 8 opportunities.

Met: Unit fits the behavior. Opportunities fits this behavior.
Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.
Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.
Met: Method produces the metric. Opportunity (trial) recording gives opportunities data.

- Record up to 8 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.
