Say first and last name and age
When to use this goal
For preschoolers who answer to their name but cannot yet tell a new adult their full name or age. Present levels in expressive communication and the student's AAC system decide fit; the answer can be spoken, signed, or shown on a device or card.
- Baseline
- Ask the questions 5 times across a week with different adults. Count correct when all three facts were given.
- Tips
- Program name and age on the AAC device. Practice with new adults as soon as possible. This builds toward the fuller personal information goal in fn-cs-007.
- Limits
- Saying a name to anyone who asks is not always safe; teach older students who to tell. Does not include address or phone.

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.
