Identify adult services and what each provides

When to use this goal

For students approaching exit who will use vocational rehabilitation, developmental disability services, a community college access office, or public benefits, and who cannot yet name them or say what they do. Present levels and the transition plan's listed agencies decide which services are included.

Baseline
Give the matching sheet cold before any instruction and score it. Then teach each agency with a visit, a representative, or a video, and probe again. Keep the agency list stable for the year.
Tips
Use the actual agencies in the student's state and county; names differ by state. Invite representatives to speak and visit offices when possible, because real contact makes the names stick. Families should receive the same reference card.
Limits
Naming an agency is not applying to it; applications involve the family and adult consent. Eligibility rules change and differ by state, so the sheet describes services, not promises.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, given a list of 5 to 8 local adult service agencies named in the transition plan and a matching sheet of what each provides, the student will match each agency to the service it provides independently with at least 85% accuracy on agency items, on 3 consecutive probes, as measured by work-sample analysis collected every two weeks.

Baseline: 30% 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 Transition-Related Skills.

  • 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.
