Use the forecast temperature to choose clothing
When to use this goal
For older students who read a temperature but do not use it to make daily choices, such as wearing a coat. Present levels in reading temperatures and comparing numbers decide readiness.
- Baseline
- An opportunity is one day. Score the reading and the choice. Use the student's own chart; preferences vary.
- Tips
- Pair with daily living goals for dressing. Families can track the same routine at home.
- Limits
- Clothing choices are personal and cultural; the chart is built with the student and family.

Baseline: 2 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.
