Fold laundry at a hotel or laundry pace
When to use this goal
For students in hotel, gym or laundry placements who fold towels and linens to standard but slower than the site needs. Accuracy must be high first; present levels in motor skills decide the setup.
- Baseline
- Time 3 samples and count only towels that meet the standard. Ask the supervisor for the expected rate, or time a staff member.
- Tips
- Graph the rate with the student. A standing or seated station is fine if the site allows it. Hotels and gyms often hire for laundry roles.
- Limits
- Linen type changes the rate. Pushing pace too early can raise errors.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, during a laundry shift, given a bin of clean towels and a 10-minute timed work sample (total divided by 10 for the per-minute rate), the student will fold towels to the site's standard and stack them during the timed sample independently at a rate of at least 4 towels folded to standard per minute, on 3 consecutive weekly timed samples, as measured by timed probes collected weekly.
Baseline: 2 towels folded to standard per minute.
