Use a floor plan to find a location
When to use this goal
For older students who need to read building maps and floor plans (a new school, a mall, a job site) and turn them to match the direction they face. Present levels in left and right and in reading simple maps decide readiness.
- Baseline
- Use buildings and routes the student does not already know. Record whether the student turns the plan to match their direction.
- Tips
- Coordinate with orientation and mobility staff for students with visual impairment. Tactile maps can replace print plans.
- Limits
- Real travel safety is a separate goal.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, given a floor plan of the school or a community building and a destination, the student will turn the plan to match the direction faced, trace a route, and walk to the destination independently in at least 4 of 5 opportunities, on 3 of 4 consecutive weekly checks, as measured by direct observation collected weekly.
Baseline: 1 of 5 opportunities.

Met: Unit fits the behavior. Opportunities fits this behavior.
Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.
Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.
Met: Method produces the metric. Direct observation gives opportunities 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 Geometry & Spatial Reasoning.
Met: Level of support. Defined.

- 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.
