Find a store with a mall directory map
When to use this goal
For students on community trips who ask staff where a store is, or who walk the mall until they see it. Present levels in reading names, letters, and numbers and in using a school map (fn-fa-031) decide fit.
- Baseline
- On 1 or 2 trips, give 5 store names one at a time and record whether the student reached each without verbal directions.
- Tips
- Teach the directory list (alphabetical or by category) and the number code. Staff stay with the group per the outing plan. Large hospitals and transit hubs use the same kind of directory.
- Limits
- Requires community trips. Malls differ; the skill needs practice in more than one.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, during a community trip to a mall or large store, given the name of a store or department to find, the student will find the store on the directory, locate the you-are-here mark, and walk to the store independently in at least 4 of 5 opportunities, across 2 consecutive community trips, as measured by direct observation collected at each community trip with a directory.
Baseline: 1 of 5 opportunities.

Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.
Met: Condition. Stated.
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. Direct observation gives opportunities 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 Functional Academics.
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?Required for students on alternate assessments (34 CFR §300.320(a)(2)(ii)); some states require them for everyone.

- Record up to 5 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.
