Fill out a health history form

When to use this goal

For high school and transition students who will soon fill out their own forms at clinics, job sites, and colleges, but cannot yet complete name, birth date, allergies, medications, and emergency contact fields correctly. Present levels decide fit.

Baseline
Score the fields on one practice form (usually 15 to 25) against the information the family confirms. Note which fields are blank versus wrong.
Tips
Build a personal health information card with the family first. Practice forms use made-up identifiers when shared with peers. Teach the student to leave a field blank and ask rather than guess.
Limits
Accuracy depends on the family confirming the facts. Forms with medical history sections may need a family member's help; that is a fair support. This goal never replaces the individualized health plan, medication orders, or an emergency action plan; the nurse, the family, and the student's health care provider decide care, and the goal follows their plan.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, given a practice health history form like those used at local clinics, the student will complete each field of the form with accurate information about themselves independently with at least 90% accuracy on form fields, in 3 of 4 consecutive monthly probes, as measured by work-sample analysis collected monthly.

Baseline: 40% accuracy.

  • Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.

  • Met: Condition. Stated.

  • Met: Unit fits the behavior. Percent accuracy fits this behavior.

  • Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.

  • Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.

  • Met: Method produces the metric. Work-sample analysis gives percent accuracy 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 Health & Self-Management.

  • 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.
