Log seizures with family in a shared tracker
When to use this goal
For older students who have seizures and are starting to take part in tracking them for their doctor visits. Present levels in using a phone app or paper log decide fit. The student logs with a family member or nurse; it is never their job alone to notice or record a seizure they could not see.
- Baseline
- Ask the family how seizures are logged now and who does it. Review the last month's log and note which details are usually missing. Count an opportunity as met when the student made or completed the entry within a day.
- Tips
- Use the tracker the family and doctor already use (an app, a paper log, a shared note). The family or nurse fills in what the student did not see; the student adds how they felt before and after. Keep the log private.
- Limits
- Seizure frequency varies, so some months have few opportunities. The student often cannot recall a seizure, so accuracy depends on the adult who saw it. 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, after a seizure or warning sign at home, with a family member who saw it, the student will enter the date, time, length, and what happened before in the shared seizure tracker independently in at least 4 of 5 opportunities, across 2 consecutive grading periods, as measured by frequency recording collected monthly review of the tracker with the family and nurse.
Baseline: 1 of 5 opportunities.

- 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.
