Check off weekly chores by their due day
When to use this goal
For students 18 to 21 who share an apartment or home and have a weekly chore list but finish chores late or only when reminded. Fits once each chore on the list is in the student's skill set. Present levels and observation of the chore in a real setting, not grade or age, decide whether this template fits.
- Baseline
- Review two weeks of the chart and count the chores finished by their due day without a reminder. Note which chores slip, since a hard chore may need its own skill goal.
- Tips
- Let the student help choose and swap chores with housemates. Score only chores done by their day without a reminder. A phone chore app carries into adult life.
- Limits
- Counts chores done, not how well. A chart with shifting chores each week makes counts hard to compare; keep the total steady.

- Count each occurrence of the defined behavior per week, out of the chores on the weekly chart.
- Keep the observation length the same each session. If it varies, compare rate per minute, not raw counts.
- Write the behavior definition at the top of the sheet so all data collectors count the same thing.
