Fill in a form legibly with personal information
When to use this goal
Fits secondary students preparing for work, community, or post-secondary settings who cannot complete a paper form (name, address, phone, date of birth, signature) so that it can be read, or who write outside the fields. Base the choice on a trial on a practice form during baseline.
- Baseline
- Give two practice forms and score each field for correct content, legibility, and placement. Separate the three error types; wrong content means the student needs the reference card, illegible means letter size and formation, and out-of-bounds means spatial planning. Check whether the student knows their own address and phone number.
- Tips
- Use real school forms when they come up and practice job applications otherwise. The wallet card is a lasting accommodation many adults use; the goal can keep it as the default support. Pair with transition-related goals on personal information and signatures.
- Limits
- Online forms are now common and need keyboarding, not handwriting. Form layouts vary; score only forms with similar field sizes. Memorizing personal information is a separate skill in functional academics.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, given a practice job application with 10 fields and the student's information on a reference card, the student will write the correct information in each field, legibly and within the field boundaries independently with at least 90% accuracy on fields completed correctly, legibly, and within the boundaries, on 3 consecutive weekly practice forms, as measured by work-sample analysis collected weekly on a practice or real form.
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.
