Weigh packages and record weights for a job
When to use this goal
For students in mailroom, shipping, produce or warehouse tasks who need to weigh items and record weights to the tenth of a pound or by pounds and ounces. Present levels in reading a digital scale and decimals to the tenth decide readiness.
- Baseline
- Record zeroing errors and decimal errors (writing 2.5 as 25).
- Tips
- Coordinate with the job coach. Pounds and ounces on some scales need a separate objective.
- Limits
- Lifting limits and safe handling are covered by the site and staff.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, at a job site or school mailroom, given packages, a digital shipping scale and a log, the student will zero the scale, weigh each item, and record the weight with its unit on the log independently with at least 95% accuracy on recorded weights, on 3 consecutive job-site days, as measured by work-sample analysis collected weekly at the work site.
Baseline: 40% accuracy.

- Score only items the student attempted unless the goal defines a fixed set of items. Use the same denominator every session.
- Percent = numerator ÷ denominator × 100. Round to one decimal place.
- Record the support actually provided, even if the goal is independent performance.
